MWDUMP Normative: Log-X Traffic Projection (Publications ∪ CM)

Scope

This normative defines a single 2-D projection plot over the union of:

• Top-N publication pages (by human hits)
• All CM pages

Each page SHALL appear exactly once.

Population

• Host SHALL be publications.arising.com.au unless explicitly stated otherwise.
• Page set SHALL be: UNION( TopN_by_human_hits(publications), All_CM_pages )

Ordering Authority

• Rows (Y positions) SHALL be sorted by human hit count, descending.
• Human traffic SHALL define ordering authority and SHALL NOT be displaced by automation classes.

Axes

Y Axis (Left)

• Y axis SHALL be categorical page identifiers.
• Full page names SHALL be rendered to the left of the plot region.
• Y axis SHALL be inverted so highest human-hit pages are at the top.

X Axis (Bottom + Top)

• X axis SHALL be log10.
• X axis ticks SHALL be fixed decades: 10^0, 10^1, 10^2, ... up to the highest decade required by the data.
• X axis SHALL be duplicated at the top with identical ticks/labels.
• Vertical gridlines SHALL be rendered at each decade (10^n). Minor ticks SHOULD be suppressed.

Metrics (Plotted Series)

For each page, the following series SHALL be plotted as independent point overlays sharing the same X axis:

• Human hits: hits_human = hits_total - (hits_bot + hits_ai + hits_badbot)
• Bot hits: hits_bot
• AI hits: hits_ai
• Bad-bot hits: hits_badbot

Marker Semantics

Markers SHALL be distinct per series:

• Human hits: filled circle (●)
• Bot hits: cross (×)
• AI hits: triangle (△)
• Bad-bot hits: square (□)

Geometry (Plot Surface Scaling)

• The plot SHALL be widened by increasing canvas width and/or decreasing reserved margins.
• The plot SHALL NOT be widened by extending the X-axis data range beyond the highest required decade.
• Figure aspect SHOULD be >= 3:1 (width:height) for tall page lists.

Prohibitions

• The plot SHALL NOT reorder pages by bot, AI, bad-bot, or total hits.
• The plot SHALL NOT add extra decades beyond the highest decade required by the data.
• The plot SHALL NOT omit X-axis tick labels.
• The plot SHALL NOT collapse series into totals.
• The plot SHALL NOT introduce a time axis in this projection.

Title

The plot title SHOULD be: "Publications ∪ CM Pages (Ordered by Human Hits): Human vs Automation (log scale)"

Validation

A compliant plot SHALL satisfy:

• Pages readable on left
• Decade ticks visible on bottom and top
• Scatter region occupies the majority of horizontal area to the right of labels
• X-axis decade range matches data-bound decades (no artificial expansion)
