Cadence
The fixed rhythm of the practice (same day, same length, same shape) that turns effort into habit until the hour runs on rails and no longer depends on motivation. Distinguished from intensity; a modest cadence sustained beats a high intensity abandoned.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in AI Governance: Applied Mastery.

How often drift signals are checked, which must be fast relative to how quickly the model could cause unacceptable harm. Checking a fast-rotting model annually is equivalent to not checking it.
