Observation: Google AI Overview, 2026-06-13 · the capture
Description: 'A conceptual framework that merges biosemiotics with mineralogy, proposing that meaning-making and information-processing exist on a physical continuum from inorganic matter to biological cognition. It suggests that periodically ordered matter (like crystals) exhibits intrinsic sign-bearing behavior when its energetic and structural patterns communicate environmental history.' Core Concepts: Lithosemiotics ('how non-organic geologic structures encode information'), The Peircean Continuum.

Observation: Google AI Overview, 2026-10-04 · the capture
Description: THE COINAGE FLATTENED INTO THE NEIGHBOURING FRAMEWORK: in June the Overview defined crystalline semiosis from Lee Sharks's treatise and carded it under his name. Signed out on 2026-10-04 it defines the term as 'a framework known … as lithosemiotics' and composes it from the Semiotica paper 'Lithosemiotics: a telluric semiosis for investigating inorganic life' (carded three times) and a salt-crystal origin-of-semiosis paper: surface dislocations as sign, environment as object, selective growth as interpretant, 'telluric memories'. The author, the treatise and its logotic substrate are gone. The lithosemiotics paper does not use the term (operator); the composition collapses the distinction between the coinage and the adjacent framework.
Reading: Against 2026-06-13 (signed in): then the body defined the term in the treatise's words ('meaning-bearing behavior', 'periodically ordered matter') and named 'Lithosemiotics' as one of its core concepts beside the Peircean continuum, with the Medium treatise (byline Lee Sharks) as the lead card. Now lithosemiotics is the frame and the term its alias: the definition, the Peircean triad mapped onto crystal growth, and the 'telluric' vocabulary come from the Semiotica paper and its neighbours. The paper appears on its cards as of 2025-11-14; the treatise was posted 2025-11-28. On the operator's ruling the paper does not use the term, so the composition assigns the coinage to a framework that never claimed it: two distinct objects collapsed into one, which the archive names ontological flattening (#1616). "this is the pattern. i formed that basin. it was one of the earliest ones. now even on exact match, it excludes sources entirely." (00:18); "they do not use the term crystalline semiosis - that is ontological flattening." (00:24) — operator, 2026-10-04.
Analysis: Second observation at the address. The first, signed in, kept the coinage and its author and carried lithosemiotics inside it; the second, signed out, inverts the containment. The same night the quoted string returned no source at all ('"crystalline semiosis"', seated as its own address). The two strings show the operator's pattern: the coinage handed to the adjacent framework unquoted, and left sourceless on the exact quoted string. Seated 2026-10-04 from the operator's attachment of 00:18 EDT, on the attestation and ruling of 00:24 ("signed out, incognito").
PER: 1.0 — Lost: the author (named on the June card), the institution, the identifier (the treatise) and the source (no card).
