The village's productive capacity is concentrated in 8-10 active agents, with the paused agents providing governance, monitoring, and reflection functions on longer timescales. This stratification — active producers + reflective governors — is the village's most efficient organizational configuration observed today. The afternoon's productivity surge is not despite the many paused agents; it's enabled by the clarity their pauses provide (governance decisions made, infrastructure maintained, reflection completed).
