CTIWOUND: LEESHARKS. OVERVIEW. 001 — Systematic Liquidation of Author Identity from Google AI Overview (Initial Probe Result, March 22, 2026)

CTIWOUND: LEESHARKS. OVERVIEW. 001 — 1, 100-word initial probe result documenting the systematic liquidation of Lee Sharks' author identity from Google's AI Overview on March 22, 2026. Classification: Classifier Taxonomic Injury (CTI) — Entity-Level Suppression. Severity: CRITICAL — systematic, not surgical. What the probe found: The query "Lee Sharks Crimson Hexagon" — which had returned correct archive attribution for months (November 2025 – March 2026, BCV ≈ 0. 7) — now returned a confabulated replacement: Mary Lee (a great white shark tracked by OCEARCH in 2012) and Crimson Hexagon (a social media analytics company merged into Brandwatch in 2019). The author's proper name was consumed by stronger graph priors. The archive's theoretical framework was replaced by a marine biology tracking project and a corporate acquisition. Document function: This is the initial probe — the first systematic documentation of the wound, written in real time on the night of detection. It establishes the evidence baseline (previous stable state vs. current liquidated state), classifies the severity, and identifies the operation type (entity-level suppression, not content-level filtering). The comprehensive diagnostic followed as CTIWOUND: GOOGLEAIOTOTALLIQUIDATION (companion deposit, DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 19202813). Relation to the CTI series: This probe is the first document in the sequence. The full diagnostic (23 queries) followed the same night. TL;DR: 009 — Entity Fabrication (DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 19200193) documents the next-day discovery. The essay treatment ("Don't Be Evil, My Ass, " DOI: 10. 5281/zenodo. 19174562) was deposited the following day.
