Off-entity sources entering the retrieval basin. Not terminological near-misses — operational-versus-operative semiotics is a rival in the same field and is tracked as an adversary. This measures material with no relation to the archive or its subject composing into answers about the archive's own terms.
1,458 host-citations across 407 observations: 1,186 fleet, 135 authored, 137 off-entity — 9%. 69 distinct off-entity hosts. 17% of observations show bleed.
Coined terms bleed MORE than uncoined ones — 28% against 12%. Coinage does not protect a term; it invites decomposition. A coined compound has no corpus to anchor to, so the layer splits it, and the components are ordinary words with vast literatures.
