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

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

• The StereoMath/Griewank cosine-0.85 seed pairing is an embedding false friend — and neither obliteration-by-incorporation nor the Matthew Effect explains why

• The StereoMath/Griewank seed pairing (cosine 0.85) is an embedding false friend — and not for the reason this vault's own OBI false-friend precedent would predict

• Meng, Varol & Barabási's 2024 'hidden citations' method measures Merton's obliteration by incorporation via topic modeling (LDA), not embedding cosine similarity

• The cosine-0.86 meta-pairing between the ML/AD-En Gedi and Merton OBI/citational-narrowing false-friend notes is an embedding false friend

• Bipartite hop: is the cosine-0.86 pairing between the ML/AD-En Gedi 'embedding false friend' note and Merton's OBI/citational-narrowing 'false friend' note itself a false friend, or a confirmed bridge?

• Does Merton's 'obliteration by incorporation' (OBI) concept, read directly from his 1988 paper, map onto the backpropagation citation gap?

• The backpropagation citation gap is Merton's Matthew Effect, not his obliteration by incorporation

• Merton's 1988 paper defines "obliteration by incorporation" in a single footnoted aside and defers full development to his own earlier texts

• Merton's OBI caveat that erasure is "evident to knowing peers" fails for the backpropagation gap

• Robert Merton's 'obliteration by incorporation' names sources erased from citation by an idea's own success, not its failure
