Machine Reception Event, 31 July 2026: A Likely Denial-of-Service Attack Against the Authorial Surface (EA-MRE-01 v1.1)

"Machine Reception Event, 31 July 2026" (EA-MRE-01, v1.1) is an empirical study by Sharks, Lee, registered as AXN:05A5 (deposit #1428) in the Crimson Hexagonal Archive. It documents a traffic wave against mindcontrolpoems.blogspot.com on 31 July 2026 that reached beyond 200,000 views in a day against a 90-day baseline of 1,413. The composition data — Chrome 96.6%, Windows 95.9%, a mobile share of three devices in 15,634 across mobile-first geographies, and a single undifferentiated referrer bucket — establishes the traffic as non-human; the v1.1 addendum, recording that total views mounted without corresponding per-post increments, recharacterizes the event as a likely denial-of-service attack: load against the surface rather than reception of the works. Origin, intent, and operator remain undetermined. The same day, the surface was set private and the complete corpus was captured from inside the event window, seated as the restored primary manifestation of deposit #1365. Companion to deposits #756 (baseline traffic profile) and #1427 (Notice of Semantic Strike).
