• Does sociology-of-science or citation-analysis literature already name the six attribution-drift mechanisms Fable's lateral read surfaced?

• Greenberg's 2009 BMJ citation-network study names "citation transmutation" — a hedge dropped at the point of citation, hardening a hypothesis into unqualified fact

• Robert Merton's 'obliteration by incorporation,' read in his own 1980 words, is adjacent to but distinct from the vault's 'retrospective relabel' mechanism

• Simkin & Roychowdhury's citation-copying model, explicitly framed as motiveless, is a confirmed match for the vault's own citogenesis and motive-free-inertia cases

• Three of Fable's six attribution-drift mechanisms — name-magnetism, citation-vacuum-filling, retrospective relabel — have no exact-match term in philosophy-of-science or citation-analysis literature

• Does philosophy-of-science or citation-analysis literature already name 'surface-level match without mechanism identity' as one general structure?

• No located philosophy-of-science or citation-analysis term spans both the Minsky-1961 'structural' mislabel and RSA's mechanism-underdetermination finding as one general structure

• Simkin & Roychowdhury's citation-copying mechanism is a hedged, imperfect fit for the Minsky-1961 'structural' mislabel — it models verbatim misprint-copying, not conceptual relabeling
