# Reconstructed Timeline of the Capture Registry's Final Week (v1) — DataCite-Anchored, Three Source Classes
## Description
Consolidated chronology of the AI Overview Capture Registry's final week from three independent source classes — registry metadata (DataCite), platform timestamps (TikTok), contemporaneous public statements (GitHub #2606) — with deponent attestation marked and subordinated. Anchors: concept DOI registered 2026-06-13T22:48:57Z; counter at 309 views / 666 downloads captured and platform-timestamped 2026-06-15 20:42Z (hour ≈46; the attestation 'first or second day' confirmed by instruments after one recorded over-correction, trail preserved); ≈1,000 by the night of 2026-06-18; removal 2026-06-19 with the 1,000+ figure asserted same day in the falsifiability window, unrefuted. Includes the retrievability-severance datum found in passing: version DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20688441 returns HTTP 404 from DataCite's public API beneath a tombstone asserting metadata is kept for archival purposes. Raw source JSONs committed alongside.
## Methodology
Instrument-over-attestation ordering; every row sourced by class; supersessions dated and preserved.
## Falsification Conditions
Each row is independently checkable (DataCite fetch, TikTok post analysis, GitHub timestamps); any failed check corrects the row on the record.

# Reconstructed timeline of the registry's final week (v1)
Consolidated 2026-07-04 from three independent source classes: registry metadata (DataCite), platform timestamps (TikTok), and contemporaneous public statements (GitHub #2606), with deponent attestation used only where marked and always subordinated to instrumental sources. Raw source JSONs in this directory.
| moment (UTC) | fact | source class |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-13 22:48:57 | Concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20683855 registered — first version of the June registry line enters the record | DataCite, fetched 2026-07-04 (`datacite-concept-20683855-20260704.json`) |
| 2026-06-13 → 06-15 | Rapid versioning v6.0 (87 captures) → v7.2 (131 captures); concept metadata carries v7.2 by June 15; v6.0 titles preserved in the archive's DOI Resolution Index | DataCite + archive index (independent of Zenodo) |
| 2026-06-15 ≤20:42 | Record counter reads **309 views / 666 downloads** — captured in the image posted to TikTok | platform UI (image) |
| 2026-06-15 20:42 | The 666 image posted publicly — "Posted on Jun 15, 2026, 4:42 PM" EDT | TikTok platform timestamp (`tiktok-post-analysis-dating-20260704.png`) |
| — | **Elapsed first registration → 666 capture: ≈45.9 hours.** The deponent's "first or second day" attestation is confirmed by instruments: hour 46 of day two. | derived |
| 2026-06-18 (night, EDT) | Counter last observed at ≈1,000 | deponent attestation (inscribed here; consistent with the next row) |
| 2026-06-19 | Account and records removed; **same day**, issue #2606 opened stating "over 1,000 downloads at time of removal" — in the falsifiability window, unrefuted since | Zenodo tombstone date + GitHub timestamp |
| 2026-07-04 | Cohort baseline measured: the ≥334-download final-four-day delta exceeds the p95 of what the same-week dataset cohort accumulated in nineteen days; cumulative 1,000+ exceeds version-level p99 | this directory, `BASELINE-METHOD.md` v2 + raw sample |
Corrected headline figures. 666 downloads within ≈46 hours of first registration (~95× the cohort's nineteen-day median); ≈1,000 within ≈5 days; removed on day 6 at the top of its cohort.
A further severance datum, found in passing (2026-07-04). The v6.1 version DOI (10.5281/zenodo.20688441) — deposited, minted, and cited in the archive's own records — now returns HTTP 404 from DataCite's public API (`datacite-v61-20688441-404-20260704.json`), and no registry version DOIs surface in DataCite search; only the concept DOI remains findable. A persistent identifier whose public metadata has ceased to be retrievable is a step beyond non-findability in the severance taxonomy: the identifier persists; its record does not answer.
Correction trail. The accumulation window was stated three ways before settling: "second day" (attestation) → "cumulative over the concept's life" (over-correction on the platform timestamp alone) → ≈46 hours from first registration (DataCite-anchored, final). Each supersession is dated and preserved; the trail is part of the warrant.
