Definition
How an operator's metrics change over time. The temporal dimension of operator measurement.
Inputs
Time-series of token pillars across windows for a given operator.
Derived variables
Trend slopes, volatility, adaptation rates, regime changes.
Claim
Operators adapt over time — their token cascade efficiency changes as they learn, switch tools, or change workflows.
Test
Compare early-window vs late-window metrics for the same operator.
Observable
Metric slopes over time, volatility, adaptation events.
Falsifier
If metrics are stationary across all time windows for all operators, trajectory is not meaningful.
Evidence
Field data shows non-stationary operator trajectories.
Limitations
Trajectory is confounded with tool/model changes and task selection shifts.
