For the bare query 'Mary Lee' — no disambiguator — AI Mode opens with: "'Mary Lee' in this context refers to an academic and theoretical paper titled 'Mary Lee Is a Heteronym: On Institutional Authorship, Entity Substitution, and the Composition Layer's Preference for the More Confabulated Name' published on Zenodo." The composition layer is treating Lee Sharks's paper as the primary referent for 'Mary Lee' rather than OCEARCH's actual shark, Mary Lee Curtis, or any other Mary Lee. This is the entity-substitution paper's own thesis demonstrated in real-time by the substrate's treatment of the query — the paper has become canonical for the name it analyzes.
