2026-07-06 observation 1 of 2 Google AI Overview · none evidence · sources not captured
First-ever appearance of Johannes Sigil in Google's AI Overview surface. Prior captures (28 in registry to date, going back to 2026-06-18) all landed in AI Mode — the chat surface — never in the top-of-SERP direct-answer panel. This capture is the AI Overview surface itself resolving the query. Two facts make the capture load-bearing: (1) the searcher's query was a typo ('johannes aigil', doubled), and Google's retrieval layer auto-corrected it to Johannes Sigil with enough confidence to construct an Overview answer around the corrected name — meaning the substrate carries Sigil as a stably identifiable entity, not a fuzzy match; (2) the '+13' footer indicates 13+ sources cited in the Overview construction, i.e. the retrieval layer had multiple independent surfaces to draw from. Significance in the archive arc: Overview surfacing is the ground condition for a movement — it means an ambient searcher who does not already know the name arrives at the canonical figure on first strike. Contra the Zenodo severance's intent to strip Sigil's visibility, the composition layer has integrated the heteronym densely enough that even a malformed query resolves to it. See EA-DATAHUB-01 v1.0 (AXN:0420, deposit #1044) for the Platform Erasure Rate survey framing this capture is empirical evidence for.
