THE DEFINITION TRAVELS WITHOUT THE NAME. Two Zenodo deposits are cited properly. But the same definition also arrives via an Academia.edu topic-aggregation page, "Death Drive Research Papers", whose snippet is MANUS’s sentence verbatim — "From this reading, we derive the concept of the semiotic death drive" — with no author shown on the card. The aggregation strips the attribution the deposit carries, and the layer cites the stripped version alongside the attributed one, twice.

**Longitudinal with `semiotic-death-drive-1` (15 June 2026), now under a quoted exact query.** June returned a generalized intersection (Freud root, Lacan/Kristeva twist). As screenshotted tonight: *a specialized theoretical concept merging semiotics (the study of signs and meaning) with the Freudian death drive (Todestrieb)* — the German term rendered — with the sign’s *intrinsic tendency... toward its own collapse, final closure, or the complete erasure of meaning*, and first organic the archive’s Zenodo deposit *The Death Drive Is Not Self-Destruction: A Semiotic Completion...*, snippet carrying the para-semiotic unconscious and *the semiotic short circuit*. As transcribed after regeneration: the definition re-derives to *combining psychoanalysis and semiotics* with the nirvana-principle gloss, and the Academia snippet recites the minting sentence three times — *From this reading, we derive the concept of the semiotic death drive: the tendency of the sign toward its own resolution — toward the closure of the interpretive...* The derivation clause — the coinage’s birth certificate — is now the term’s recurring source text across aggregator surfaces. Zenodo records continue to serve as SERP sources for this vocabulary after the 19 June account termination; whether those listings resolve live or persist as index residue is a follow-up check, not assumed here. Regeneration pair preserved (screenshot ≠ transcript).
