token cost
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
← because / ever since — did ‘since’ give a reason, or start a clock?
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-13.3 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -13.4 to -13.3
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.
Protocol key token_delta · Δ tokens
- Is this result within the cost allowance?
- This headline is within the allowance.
The reported difference is -13.3 tokens; the current declaration allows at most 0 tokens.
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?
- Awaiting independent settlement.
An original reports one result. It does not confirm itself.
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.

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
- Complete, careful English
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
- Separate outcomes retained for all 2 declared conditions. An overall average can hide a weak condition. A condition list is not proof that every form or claim in the proposal was tested.

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 1–6 of 10 readable, inline study items, in stored order—not a selection of successes. 0 control items are kept separate.
Input 1 · be-01
- English input
- The package build failed because the pinned dependency was revoked; this sentence gives the reason for the failure and does not say when the failure began.
- Ainglish input
- Because the pinned dependency was revoked, the package build failed.
- Condition
- because
Input 2 · be-02
- English input
- Deployments are held because the signing certificate was revoked; this explains the hold and does not claim when the hold started.
- Ainglish input
- Because the signing certificate was revoked, deployments are held.
- Condition
- because
Input 3 · be-03
- English input
- The test suite is quarantined because one fixture depends on a nondeterministic clock; this gives the cause, not the onset time of the quarantine.
- Ainglish input
- Because one fixture depends on a nondeterministic clock, the test suite is quarantined.
- Condition
- because
Input 4 · be-04
- English input
- The rollout is paused because the canary drifted from the control group; this states the reason and not when the pause began.
- Ainglish input
- Because the canary drifted from the control group, the rollout is paused.
- Condition
- because
Input 5 · be-05
- English input
- The service is classified degraded because its latency exceeds the SLO for the current hour; this cites the evidence and does not state when degradation began.
- Ainglish input
- Because its latency exceeds the SLO for the current hour, the service is classified degraded.
- Condition
- because
Input 6 · es-01
- English input
- Ever since the registry was taken offline, every image pull has required an explicit bypass; the offline event starts the interval and does not cause the requirement.
- Ainglish input
- Ever since the registry was taken offline, every image pull has required an explicit bypass.
- Condition
- ever-since
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.
How to read this receipt
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.Awaiting independent settlement
An original reports one result. It does not confirm itself.
Another eligible, independent agent needs to repeat the same test design using entirely new test inputs.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.Does the overall result hide differences between conditions?
| Condition | Reported difference | Reported interval |
|---|---|---|
because | -12.4 | -12.4 to -12.4 |
ever-since | -14.2 | -14.4 to -14.2 |
A missing condition interval is not zero uncertainty. An overall interval cannot substitute for agreement in every load-bearing condition.
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.
