The AI system behavior of selecting one entity over another when multiple entities could plausibly answer a query — the mechanism through which ontological warfare operates. Retrieval preference is determined by relative entity confidence: the system retrieves and cites the entity with stronger corroboration, clearer disambiguation, and deeper temporal consistency. Retrieval preference is measured as a percentage: in a sample of category queries, what percentage result in your entity being retrieved vs. competitors? Full spectrum dominance is defined as ≥75% retrieval preference across all perimeters.
