The Excluded Entity: Organic Resolution and Compositional Suppression in Google AI Overview Lee Sharks ORCID: 0009-0000-

"The Excluded Entity" is a 5,918-word theoretical paper by Lee Sharks, dated 2026-05-19. A generative-search system exhibits Entity-Level Compositional Suppression (ECS) when it excludes the dominant organic-resolution entity from the AI Overview's admitted source set and composes a substitute answer from less query-responsive entities, despite the correct entity occupying the top organic search results. The work is classified under the EMPIRICAL semantic family within the Crimson Hexagonal Archive. It was removed from Zenodo on June 19, 2026 and is preserved through Alexanarch.
