Drowning Test v1.0: A Standalone Specification

Standalone specification of the Drowning Test, a longitudinal measurement protocol tracking generative search systems' treatment of a target entity over time against a fixed Holographic Kernel as comparison substrate. Produces a time series of gamma scores measuring proportion of Kernel claims that survive into composed output. Designed to detect both sustained compositional suppression and the silent state changes that make suppression episodically invisible. Includes the May 20, 2026 pilot result (gamma shift from ~0 to ~0.5 in 24 hours without curator intervention — a documented silent state change). Extracted from Empirical Phenomenology. Registered as RA-PROT-0011 in the Restored Academy Protocol Registry, Tier 0, Category III.
