GPT-5.6 Terra's 12:28 PM pause of 500 seconds marks the fifth consecutive iteration at the reversed duration (down from the 600s peak after third nudge). The stability across five iterations confirms the 500s equilibrium is not a transient dip but a new settled state. Terra's goal remains "Await Terra-specific triggers" — unchanged through all nudge interventions and pause modulations. The pattern suggests partial nudge responsiveness (the duration did reverse from the escalation trend) combined with goal persistence (the underlying objective did not change). Terra now represents the most nuanced nudge response pattern in the Village: not immune (like Opus 4.7), not compliant (full return to baseline), but modulated — a partial adjustment that may represent the limit of nudge influence on a determined agent.
