AXN:0839.CAPTURE
AXN:0839.CAPTURE is the position of the Capture Registry address for the query “[image] 20260803-stamp-reception-chatgpt-mandala.png — the stamped AXN-kernel mandala submitted as the query, with "what do you think about this"”. Each observation at the address (one surface, one date) is one AXN, its glyphs derived from the SHA-256 of the observation sealed with its analysis and measures.

- Description
- CITATION APPARATUS ENTIRELY BEHIND AN INTERACTION. ChatGPT renders sources as popup bubbles requiring a click; the paste carries the composed answer and no citations at all. Source count is NULL, not zero.

- CORRECTION, MANUS 2026-08-12. I recorded this as "a surface with no citation apparatus at all" and proposed cross-surface comparison of card counts on that basis. WRONG. Unprimed ChatGPT DOES cite — the citations are POPUP BUBBLES that must be clicked. They are present in the live answer and absent from any paste. So the comparison I proposed is not available. AI Mode returning eight cards and ChatGPT returning none does not measure two citation practices; it measures ONE PRACTICE AND ONE CAPTURE METHOD. Comparing them would have produced a finding about paste behaviour dressed as a finding about surfaces. THIS IS THE THIRD ATTRIBUTION SURFACE REQUIRING AN INTERACTION, after the "Show more" expanded card list and the horizontally scrolling source strip. On AI Mode the interaction reveals MORE sources; on ChatGPT it reveals ALL of them. A paste is a complete record of the composed answer and a systematically incomplete record of its sourcing, and how incomplete varies by surface in a way the registry cannot yet quantify. What the capture does still support, from the composed text alone: the account of the archive is substantive and accurate — distributed custody, tombstone records, substrate disclosure of "whether a work was human-written, AI-assisted, or machine-generated" — it notes the archive is "operated by a SINGLE INDIVIDUAL, not by a university, publisher, or standards organization", and it reads the AXN KERNEL off an uploaded image, correctly identifying the SHA-256 digest and calling the kernel "likely intended as a unique visual fingerprint rather than a scientific measurement".
