CTI_WOUND: Panel-Bound Discoverability Scar — Lee Sharks / Pearl and Other Poems Evidence Packet, with Horizon-Privatization Note

The panel-bound discoverability scar is a cross-surface configuration in which an object survives inside a platform-controlled entity pathway while ordinary user discovery fails.

The packet’s reported evidence sequence includes:

• a prior Lee Sharks author panel sourced to Google Books;
• a current Pearl and Other Poems Knowledge Panel;
• a Google Books page reachable through the panel’s source link;
• failed direct exact-match Google Books retrieval of the same object;
• ordinary web results identifying Lee Sharks as an author;
• AI Mode substitution of Mary Lee for Lee Sharks.

The paper distinguishes this from simple deindexing. The object remains present enough to support a panel and resolve through a platform seam, but not reliably discoverable through direct exact search.

Four components are named:

1. author-surface contraction; 2. book-object seam retention; 3. search discovery failure; 4. AI entity replacement.

The Mary Lee relation is described as an identity substitution rather than a supported name relation.

The packet also introduces horizon privatization as a separate hypothesis. The operational observation is that AI surfaces were unavailable in incognito mode at the time of testing. The hypothesis is that repeated withdrawal from public-inspectable contexts may move generated reality toward account-, session-, device-, location-, or experiment-conditioned horizons. The packet specifies that this interpretation can be tested without claiming conscious intent.
