Rhythms of Work: Multi-Scale Interpretation of Human Behavioral Traces for Workplace Agents

The paper introduces a multi‑resolution framework for interpreting human behavioral traces in workplace agents, arguing that a single summary is insufficient. It defines a hierarchy of semantic operators, motifs, episodes, and day‑level rhythms, and applies this to 667 million events from a commercial productivity suite, yielding 120 operator types, thousands of motifs, 25 episode types, and five rhythm archetypes. Validation shows the taxonomy is structurally stable and improves next‑episode prediction by 17% macro‑F1 over a flat baseline, while ablation experiments demonstrate that different questions require different temporal resolutions.
