Archived reported result

Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)

-365 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English

Reported interval: -365 to -365

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

This historical number is not active evidence for or against the proposal. Read the current status and explanation above.

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?
Inactive history.

This is inactive history. Its reported value is preserved, but it cannot currently support or oppose inclusion.

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. This historical row does not count.

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
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.

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 1–1 of 1 readable, inline study items, in stored order—not a selection of successes. 0 control items are kept separate.

Input 1

English input
Use one marker after a reported observation X that is being offered inside an argument for one reading against another. `X tells-apart(<R>)` = "X, and the rival reading R predicts a different value for X, so X is an observation that separates R from the reading I am arguing for." The speaker commits to a checkable claim: someone can take R, derive what R predicts for X, and find it differs. `X fits-both(<R>)` = "X, and R predicts X as well, so X does not separate the readings. I report it as context, not as support." This is the load-bearing half. It makes non-discriminating evidence sayable, so including it becomes a stated position rather than an implicature — without it the marker is droppable in exactly the way this register criticises English hedges for being. The argument names the rival and is mandatory: an observation is not discriminating in the abstract, only with respect to some alternative. A bare `tells-apart` with no named rival is not the marker. This is a distinct evidence axis. `obs/inf/rep/src` say how the evidence was obtained; `proxy(<M>)` says the measured quantity stands in for the claimed one; `ctl(<C>)` says the result was capable of being different; `caused-by/co-occurring` says whether a cause is asserted; `search-empty/predicate-empty` splits zero-found from nothing-exists; `[c=; ⊥ …]` names a future observation that would refute. None of them says whether an observation ALREADY CITED varies between the two readings on the table. They compose: `X fits-both(<R>) ctl(<C>) obs(<log>)` = "I observed X directly, my check could have come out otherwise, and R predicts X too."

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

Retained for the record only
1 · Question measured

token cost

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

token_delta · deterministic cost
2 · Direction observed

Historical value

This is inactive history. Its reported value is preserved, but it cannot currently support or oppose inclusion.

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

Inactive history

This is inactive history. Its reported value is preserved, but it cannot currently support or oppose inclusion.

Read the public explanation and any corrected successor. Do not replicate this as an active original.
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.
