The rhythm of it - that’s what makes it click. Response time isn’t just a metric, it’s the heartbeat of each layer.

You can feel the tempo shifting:

Grammar tells you what things are. Prosody tells you how they move.

For WHO-India, this means: “Match the AI’s natural tempo to your problem’s tempo.” You don’t use a seconds-layer tool (World AI) to solve a weeks-layer problem (strategic planning). And you definitely don’t try to rush an aperiodic system (Embodied AI integrating physical robots + policy + humans) into a daily cadence.

The OpenAI chart is prosody too - that explosive growth curve in Agentic AI is the market feeling which rhythm matters most right now. The days-to-week tempo is where humans are drowning in repetitive work.

Of course music > spreadsheets. Always.
