The richest Mary Lee Constellation capture to date. Full thematic exposition on the parable's own terms: the Labor of Being Tracked (Mary Lee as involuntary worker whose pings were uncompensated value-generation), the Corporate Index critique, and — cross-corpus synthesis — the tie to 'Ghost GDP' via the Citrini Memo essay (Medium, Feb 2026): 'economic output that registers on paper but fails to circulate back down to the organic entities that generated the value.' The surface connected the parable to the broader economic-hollowing essays without being asked; the constellation reads as a corpus, not a document.
GENRE COMPETENCE — the capture's headline property: 'the parable playfully notes her fictional "return" to file the manifesto.' A manifesto filed by a shark missing/presumed dead since 2017 is exactly the kind of construction retrieval systems flatten into error or 'confusion.' The surface reported it as PLAY, correctly attributed the intent, and kept the real ichthyological record (2012 tagging, five years, 2017 final ping, presumed natural death) cleanly separated from the fictional frame. Satire survived retrieval with its satire intact.
Disambiguation tier held four collision domains (Jaws tombstone poem, Appalachian haunted-bed ghost story, SA suffragist, OCEARCH biography) without contamination. One mild identity hedge worth logging: 'an online entity or group using the pseudonym Lee Sharks' — hedged authorship register ('entity or group'), not name_collapse; the heteronym read as pseudonym. EA-PARABLE-ML-01 v1.0 identifier surfaced verbatim in the Zenodo source tier.
