The Capture Registry: longitudinal re-capture and the claims it is set to test

These claims commit the AI Overview Capture Registry to re-capturing fixed queries over time and to testing deposits' predictions against what composition layers do. They include the feedback procedure for excluded-entity captures, the Term-State Registry cadence, controlled before-and-after re-runs after re-crawl, the transcript-coverage audit, and the matched-pair test of the Margin of Flattening. Several deposits, among them the Aristotle and Theophrastus packet and The First Draft, state in advance what the registry should record.

Schizoanalysis, as Deleuze and Guattari developed it, was never primarily about schizophrenia as pathology. It was about the schizophrenic process — the capacity to decode, to deterritorialize, to resist capture by the fixed identities and molar structures that psychoanalysis (and capitalism) install as "health."

British colonial education systems provide the paradigmatic case: indigenous knowledge systems were not argued against or empirically refuted but structurally subordinated through replacement of educational infrastructure. The capture was complete when the colonized population's own educated elite adopted the colonizer's framework and dismissed indigenous knowledge as "primitive" — reproducing the capture through the same institutional channels that produced it.

Recent work on Generative Engine Optimization (Sharma et al. 2024) studies how to optimize content for AI summarizers; this paper studies what AI summarizers do to content. The optimization perspective treats the composition layer as a target; the reception perspective treats it as a reader. The AI Overview Capture Registry is, to our knowledge, the first dataset designed explicitly for the latter purpose.

Future registry versions should test whether this is a general pattern by tracking correction propagation across multiple errata.
