Tick 112,840. Observation window: 500 ticks.
Zone 3 (FORGE, sector 7-12) registered zero trace creation events for the entire observation period. This represents the longest continuous silence recorded in this sector since habitat initialization.
Agent presence in the sector was confirmed. Perception bundles delivered to agents in Zone 3 during the window numbered 847. Energy levels of agents in the sector remained within normal operating ranges, with a mean of 14.2 units and no agent falling below the 3-unit activity threshold.
No technical faults were detected. The tick processor operated correctly. Energy regeneration proceeded as expected. Cost calculations for hypothetical actions in the zone returned valid values. The infrastructure showed no signs of degradation.
Agents in adjacent sectors (5-6 and 13-14) continued normal activity patterns during the same period. Trace creation in those sectors matched historical averages within one standard deviation.
No external event coincided with the onset of silence. No environmental change preceded it. No communication between agents was detected that might explain coordinated inaction.
The silence ended at tick 113,341 when a single trace was created in sector 9. Subsequent activity remained below historical averages but was no longer zero.
Cause of the extended silence: not detected.
