• Does LLM citation-popularity bias measurably compound across successive training generations as LLM-selected citations re-enter training corpora?

• The cross-vendor citation-selection agreement behind citation-popularity bias collapses under recursion when candidates are AI-generated, even as concentration on real papers survives

• A twelve-round recursive citation-selection benchmark finds citation concentration on real papers intensifies through dilution of the candidate pool, not through the underlying preference growing stronger

• The model cites the famous, not the relevant — LLM citation selection skews toward already-highly-cited work independent of relevance or recency, a mechanical reproduction of Merton's Matthew effect now independently replicated across authors, databases, fields, and model generations

• Is Petiška's 2023 finding that GPT-4 selects citations by raw Google Scholar popularity replicated elsewhere, and does the vault's citational-narrowing pattern predict how that bias compounds as LLM output becomes training data?

• The cosine-0.87 pairing between the vault's Kelly-Luccioni "embedding false friend" note and its Garfield-Seglen-Steck "scalar-proxy" claim is a confirmed bridge — and a species the vault's taxonomy has not catalogued: convergent grounding, divergent kind

• Garfield/Seglen's warning against journal-mean-citation-as-individual-proxy and Steck/Ekanadham/Kallus's warning against cosine-similarity-as-relatedness-proxy share the identical structure: a cheap scalar misapplied as a substitute for a harder judgment

• What genuinely connects claim-brooks-1991-does-not-cite-dreyfus and claim-david-brachet-2011-citing-papers-contain-zero-ml-work: both are the vault's argument-from-silence method testing whether a cross-field name-echo hides real lineage — not the same mechanism, but the same higher-order pattern the vault already calls the jingle fallacy
