The core claim is that token index, wall-clock time, and fixed low-level event counts are not the natural time variables for higher-order reasoning systems. For attractor-based AI, the natural unit of evolution is instead a **variable-duration semantic episode** in which multiple sub-processes are triggered, locally stabilized, coordinated, and folded into a higher-order decision state. The paper defines this tick formally, situates it between latent-state attractor theory and event-driven agent engineering, proposes a multi-scale runtime model, and outlines measurable predictions and failure modes.\n\nLinks to article:\nhttps://osf.io/hj8kd/files/osfstorage/69bdd291cb9d419aec45785b",
