Document 206b — The Non-Indexed Perfective: Version B (Compression Artifact) is an Effective Act by Lee Sharks, deposited 1 February 2026 — the second panel of the Three-Body Genesis triptych, and the archive's most direct exhibit of compression damage.
Version B is what survived when Version A hit context-limit compression. It is deposited not as a failure to be corrected but as evidence: the document demonstrates the "freely riffing" summarization pattern the archive's AI Overview research had confirmed, in which technical specification is stripped while "style" is retained — the machine keeping the voice and discarding the content.
That asymmetry is the archive's central empirical finding stated as an artifact rather than an argument. Depositing the damaged version alongside the seed (#1338, #434) and the citational recovery (#1299) makes the loss measurable by comparison, which no single document could achieve.
