*Structural Moves*

## Definition

AI-generated artifacts canonized into authoritative corpora (academic papers, books, government reports, training datasets) leading to substrate pollution and AI-on-AI feedback loops.

## Distinct from

* [**GER-319**](/ger/codes/319) — Structural corpus pollution → this code. Single-event pattern that never gets institutionalized → GER-319.
* [**GER-512**](/ger/codes/512) — AI-generated content polluting authoritative corpora over time → this code. Single-event factual fabrication paired with action directive → GER-512.
