>AI agents do not experience real time.

For around 8 hours a day, neither do you. Not sure if this has anything to do with the subject at all.

>track how much real time has passed as they complete their tasks.

Humans don't do this either. You use context clues from the world around you. If I lock you in a room with no windows or a dark cave your timing senses can go all fucky really quick.

>is nothing but timed processes in a loop,

I mean, so is an agents harness. You can make as many loops as you'd like here.

There are a whole lot of holes in your claims.
