{"address":{"q":"dois are not persistent identifiers","record":"dois-not-persistent-identifiers-adoption-incognito"},"analysis":{"analysis":"Same query as the signed-in capture (dois-not-persistent-identifiers-adoption-signed-in), run in an unprimed incognito session. The response shape is essentially identical: the same tripartite framework (Link Rot & 'Identifier Severance', Metadata Erasure, Social Contract Model) is delivered with the same conceptual structure. Sharks's Medium post is cited. The convergence between signed-in and incognito results confirms that the framework adoption is happening at the AI synthesis layer rather than from session personalization or account-specific contamination. The strongest single recognition signal documented to date: conceptual-claim-level integration of a heterodox argument on a topic with substantial institutional source coverage (DataCite, DOI Foundation, multiple university libraries), surfaced from an unprimed session, with the depositor's Medium post cited as one source among many while the conceptual architecture of the AI's answer mirrors the depositor's framework. Incognito-mode screen-capture restriction means this capture is documented in transcript form only (no screenshots).\n\nSources cited: How To FAIR, Wikipedia, University of Idaho, Medium (Lee Sharks — 'DOIs ≠ Permanent Identifiers'), Michigan State University, DeSci Labs, PUBLISSO, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, DataCite Support, pidforum.org.","d":"THE THESIS IS ANSWERED BY THE INSTITUTIONS IT DISPUTES.
