"DON'T BE EVIL," MY ASS: THE COST OF LEGIBILITY — How Predatory Compression at Civilizational Scale Destroys the Human Capacity for Transformation

A Semantic Economy Diagnostic of Algorithmic Flattening, with Empirical Evidence, Operative Semiotic Analysis, and Effective Act. Documents the total semantic liquidation of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive from Google AI Overview (March 22, 2026), names the six violences of retrieval-surface flattening (against provenance, minority reality, attention, thought, incentive, and agency), diagnoses Google AI Overview as a predatory surface, and executes the reclassification as a permanent, DOI-anchored operative act. Includes peer-reviewed evidence (Pew 2025, Springer 2024, PubMed 2025, PMC 2025). Parent: EA-ARK-01 v4.2.7.
