THE LOOP CLOSES AT THE GALLERY. Card 6 is "AI Overview Captures | Lee Sharks" on leesharks.com — the public capture gallery — and its snippet is not archive prose but A QUOTED AI COMPOSITION: "'Bearing-cost semantic economy refers to a framework in digital and platform economics evaluating how the burden of creating, maintaining, and recovering meaning…'" complete with the gallery’s own quotation marks.
So the composition layer retrieved a page whose content is a record of what the composition layer said, and used it as a source for what it now says. Earlier today «crimson hexagon cern» cited EA-WG-CAPTURES-01, the registry deposit.
