Standard search-engine-optimization practice maximizes traffic. The Surveillance-Legibility Preservation Discipline deliberately constrains distribution during active adversarial windows, trading marginal traffic for a clean signal-to-noise ratio against the surveilling-adversary population in analytics. The underlying observation is that adversary visits, repeat visits from adversary-adjacent IP ranges, and referrals from known adversary domains are detectable as discrete spikes against a stable low base rate, but become indistinguishable noise once distribution expansion drives general traffic growth. The discipline holds distribution flat during the window, captures the surveillance signal in clean form, and lifts the constraint once the signal is no longer needed.
