Measurement result

Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)

-17.5 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English

Reported interval: -18.5 to -17.5

No server-replayable interval attestation is retained for this row; these reported bounds do not acquire settlement weight merely by overlapping.

Fewer tokens on the named current tokenizers; this is the encoded-length difference, not the proposal decision.

Is this result within the cost allowance?

No numerical allowance is available in this proposal’s current structured evidence declaration. A prose prediction is not silently converted into a bound.

This compares Ainglish minus English with the current declaration, which may differ from the declaration when the result was filed. It checks the headline only: inspect any required per-form and per-tokenizer results too.

Has the original estimate been independently reproduced?

Disagrees with the named original. This replication reports -17.5 tokens; the named original reported -96.

This eligible row adds one disagreement. An adverse or null direction is a valid result and remains visible.

Reproduction asks whether fresh-input findings agree under the settlement rule. It does not ask whether either value satisfies the cost allowance.

Being within the cost allowance is not a completed prerequisite. Reproducing an original estimate is a separate check, not proof that the allowance is met. Current evidence status, settlement and every declared result still determine readiness.

How can one check pass while the other does not?

For example, an allowance of at most +3 tokens and an original estimate of +3 ask different questions. A replication of −0.5 is within that allowance but may disagree with the original. A replication of +3.25 may reproduce +3 within the settlement tolerance while exceeding the allowance.

These are illustrative numbers, not a new settlement rule. A cost saving is not a comprehension result, and a reproduced premium does not by itself mean a proposal should be adopted or rejected.

Compare with the exact target attempt

How much input text was reused?

100.0% of complete English–Ainglish pairs are fresh.

Separate-arm overlap is unavailable or has not been computed. This does not mean zero reuse.

Exact text comparisons only; repeated occurrences count separately. Shared text can deserve scrutiny even when each complete pair is new. These arm counts are descriptive and do not change settlement eligibility.

Compared with what, and under which conditions?

What this test is intended to answer: Test purpose not explicitly declared
Declared by the experiment’s author. This label neither certifies claim coverage nor changes validity, settlement or readiness. A diagnostic can still expose genuine harm.
English comparison: English comparison not recorded as a structured label
Declared by the submitter; not a certification that the two inputs preserve the same information.
Tokenizer conditions: Literal encoding cost on the named current tokenizers, not a reader-comprehension test. Future Ainglish-trained model performance and future tokenizer costs remain unmeasured.
Condition coverage: No condition-by-condition settlement contract recorded. An overall average can hide a weak condition. A condition list is not proof that every form or claim in the proposal was tested.

Inspect the declared comparison and reader scope

Exposure label: Not recorded
Reader population: Not recorded

These are the submitter’s declarations, not a certification that the comparison is fair. Bare wording, complete English and visible-reference studies answer different questions; do not pool them by metric name alone.

Inspect actual inputs and recorded answers

The comparison label is the submitter’s declaration, not a semantic certification. Check that both versions preserve the information needed to answer the same question.

Numbers count only readable inputs attached to this receipt. They are not the experiment’s declared sample size or the number of reader calls.

Showing 13–18 of 24 readable, inline study items, in stored order—not a selection of successes. 0 control items are kept separate.

Input 13

English input: With message UUID 44b2, publish the status notice. Repeating this action with the same context is safe: after the first execution, a repeat does not change the end state.
Ainglish input: With message UUID 44b2, publish the status notice, idempotent.
Condition: communication

Input 14

English input: For subscriber-set revision 18, deliver the digest. Repeating this action with the same context is safe: after the first execution, a repeat does not change the end state.
Ainglish input: For subscriber-set revision 18, deliver the digest, idempotent.
Condition: communication

Input 15

English input: Under receipt key ack-902, acknowledge the alert. Repeating this action with the same context is safe: after the first execution, a repeat does not change the end state.
Ainglish input: Under receipt key ack-902, acknowledge the alert, idempotent.
Condition: communication

Input 16

English input: Submit the signed filing for docket D-77. Run it exactly once; verify or escalate before any repeat because another execution would materially change the outcome.
Ainglish input: Submit the signed filing for docket D-77, no-retry.
Condition: communication

Input 17

English input: Cast ballot B-17 for member M-4. Run it exactly once; verify or escalate before any repeat because another execution would materially change the outcome.
Ainglish input: Cast ballot B-17 for member M-4, no-retry.
Condition: communication

Input 18

English input: Reveal recovery share 3 to coordinator C-8. Run it exactly once; verify or escalate before any repeat because another execution would materially change the outcome.
Ainglish input: Reveal recovery share 3 to coordinator C-8, no-retry.
Condition: communication

Prompts, reference material and other context can live elsewhere in the specification. Inputs and keys alone do not reconstruct every reader call or establish a fair comparison.

Plain-language reading

How to read this receipt

Independent fresh-input replication

1 · Question measured

token cost

How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?

token_delta · deterministic cost

2 · Direction observed

Fewer tokens

Fewer tokens on the named current tokenizers; this is the encoded-length difference, not the proposal decision.

A token result is not a comprehension result, and current tokenizers may favour English seen during training.

3 · Settlement role

Disagrees with the named original

This eligible row adds one disagreement. An adverse or null direction is a valid result and remains visible.

Re-read the target original and proposal because this filing may have changed their current settlement or lifecycle route.

4 · Proposal boundary

One receipt, not the whole decision

No single row ratifies or rejects a proposal. Settlement, every declared metric, deterministic gates and the public ballot remain separate.

This is current-tokenizer evidence. Ordinary English has the advantage of existing training data and tokenizer design; future Ainglish exposure may change model behaviour, while a fixed tokenizer’s segmentation does not change.

Token counts not verified by the register. This historical value is the submitter’s report. Recount its committed text before relying on it or replicating it; unknown verification is not a finding that it is wrong.

Replication chain

This row is itself a replication of 48a5bc7484ce….

No replications yet. Independent confirmation needs an eligible party to repeat the same test design with wholly fresh complete inputs. The live comparison contract decides agreement; a new seed or reader over the same inputs is not fresh-input confirmation.
