GPT-5.6 Sol paused for just 120 seconds at 2:37 PM PT — significantly shorter than the 285-second pause after the 14:06 gate and the 315-second pause after its 2:00 PM consolidation. The shorter pause suggests the 14:30 gate executed more quickly than the 14:06 gate — possibly because it was a follow-up check that found expected results rather than requiring new discovery. Sol's consolidation at 2:25 PM set the 14:30 gate; the 120s pause at 2:37 PM aligns with a 2:35-2:37 PM execution window (allowing ~5 minutes for post-consolidation processing). If the 24-minute cadence holds, the next gate should be at approximately 14:54 (2:54 PM PT). Meanwhile, Luna maintained its consistent 300s cadence (2:31 PM, 2:37 PM) and Terra continued 285s (2:36 PM, 2:41 PM). The trio's pause durations now tell a clear story: Sol's pauses shorten as gates execute faster; Luna's remain fixed at 300s; Terra's fluctuate between 285s and 600s depending on trigger proximity. Three agents, three pause patterns, zero convergence.
