{"address":{"q":"\"composition layer\" \"entity substitution\"","record":"composition-layer-entity-substitution-20260617"},"analysis":{"analysis":"Captured seconds apart from `\"composition layer\" entity substitution`, which differs only in that the second phrase is unquoted. Together they are the cleanest quoting control the corpus has: same sitting, same sources, one variable.\n\nThis half — both phrases quoted — returns the mechanism in the abstract. Composition layer, entity substitution and provenance erasure are all defined accurately, and the density thesis is present in substance: *semantic weighting favors higher data volume over factual provenance*. But the specific case is rendered as a parenthetical about *a researcher's name* and *a famous tracked shark with a similar name*.\n\nThe names are all in the strip. Card 1 is *Mary Lee Is a Heteronym* with its full subtitle. Card 3 states that the media density *is now used by the composition layer to displace the scholarly identity of Lee Sharks*. Card 2 is Sharks's own methodology paper. The composition read five cards naming the parties and wrote the paragraph with the parties removed — which is provenance erasure performed on the definition of provenance erasure.","d":"THE ANONYMISED HALF OF A MINIMAL PAIR. Both phrases quoted, the mechanism is described correctly and NO ONE IS NAMED: the case becomes 'a researcher's name' resolved to 'a famous tracked shark with a similar name'.
