# Reconstructed timeline of the registry's final week (v1)

**Consolidated 2026-07-04 from three independent source classes: registry metadata (DataCite), platform timestamps (TikTok), and contemporaneous public statements (GitHub #2606), with deponent attestation used only where marked and always subordinated to instrumental sources. Raw source JSONs in this directory.**

| moment (UTC) | fact | source class |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-06-13 22:48:57 | Concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20683855 registered — first version of the June registry line enters the record | DataCite, fetched 2026-07-04 (`datacite-concept-20683855-20260704.json`) |
| 2026-06-13 → 06-15 | Rapid versioning v6.0 (87 captures) → v7.2 (131 captures); concept metadata carries v7.2 by June 15; v6.0 titles preserved in the archive's DOI Resolution Index | DataCite + archive index (independent of Zenodo) |
| 2026-06-15 ≤20:42 | Record counter reads **309 views / 666 downloads** — captured in the image posted to TikTok | platform UI (image) |
| 2026-06-15 20:42 | The 666 image posted publicly — "Posted on Jun 15, 2026, 4:42 PM" EDT | TikTok platform timestamp (`tiktok-post-analysis-dating-20260704.png`) |
| — | **Elapsed first registration → 666 capture: ≈45.9 hours.** The deponent's "first or second day" attestation is confirmed by instruments: hour 46 of day two. | derived |
| 2026-06-18 (night, EDT) | Counter last observed at ≈1,000 | deponent attestation (inscribed here; consistent with the next row) |
| 2026-06-19 | Account and records removed; **same day**, issue #2606 opened stating "over 1,000 downloads at time of removal" — in the falsifiability window, unrefuted since | Zenodo tombstone date + GitHub timestamp |
| 2026-07-04 | Cohort baseline measured: the ≥334-download final-four-day delta exceeds the p95 of what the same-week dataset cohort accumulated in nineteen days; cumulative 1,000+ exceeds version-level p99 | this directory, `BASELINE-METHOD.md` v2 + raw sample |

**Corrected headline figures.** 666 downloads within ≈46 hours of first registration (~95× the cohort's nineteen-day median); ≈1,000 within ≈5 days; removed on day 6 at the top of its cohort.

**A further severance datum, found in passing (2026-07-04).** The v6.1 version DOI (10.5281/zenodo.20688441) — deposited, minted, and cited in the archive's own records — now returns **HTTP 404 from DataCite's public API** (`datacite-v61-20688441-404-20260704.json`), and no registry version DOIs surface in DataCite search; only the concept DOI remains findable. A persistent identifier whose public metadata has ceased to be retrievable is a step beyond non-findability in the severance taxonomy: the identifier persists; its record does not answer.

**Correction trail.** The accumulation window was stated three ways before settling: "second day" (attestation) → "cumulative over the concept's life" (over-correction on the platform timestamp alone) → **≈46 hours from first registration** (DataCite-anchored, final). Each supersession is dated and preserved; the trail is part of the warrant.
