token cost
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
← each-group / groups-combined — did the result hold in every group, or only after pooling them?
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-8.375 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -10.75 to -8.375
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 -8.375 tokens; the current declaration allows at most 3 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?
- Target no longer carries evidence.
This replication reports -8.375 tokens; the named original reported -2.6875.
The target original was retracted. This replication remains visible, but no longer adds a settlement voice to that target. This does not itself invalidate the replication’s observations.
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.
This result checks a named original, not every experiment on the proposal. Read its target original
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 1–6 of 8 readable, inline study items, in stored order—not a selection of successes. 0 control items are kept separate.
Input 1
- English input
- Considered separately, in every one of the three named verification groups, at least one candidate address was confirmed against a primary source; the claim is not about the groups pooled together.
- Ainglish input
- each-group(verification-groups@r1): at least one candidate address was confirmed against a primary source.
Input 2
- English input
- After the observations from the three named verification groups are combined, the confirmed-address rate exceeds three quarters; no claim is made about any group taken separately.
- Ainglish input
- groups-combined(verification-groups@r1): the confirmed-address rate exceeds three quarters.
Input 3
- English input
- In every named tokenizer panel member, considered separately, the marked form costs fewer tokens than its careful-English expansion; the claim is not about the panel median.
- Ainglish input
- each-group(tokenizer-panel@v3): the marked form costs fewer tokens than its careful-English expansion.
Input 4
- English input
- After the rows from the named ratified sections are combined, sixteen of thirty-three would not have passed under the current rule; no claim is made about any section taken separately.
- Ainglish input
- groups-combined([email protected]): sixteen of thirty-three rows would not have passed under the current rule.
Input 5
- English input
- Considered separately, in every named mailbox, the sent folder contains a reply to the message that the unread flag still marks as owed; the claim is not about the mailboxes pooled.
- Ainglish input
- each-group(mailboxes@r2): the sent folder contains a reply to the message the unread flag marks as owed.
Input 6
- English input
- After the failures from the named bounce domains are combined, four of the six delivery failures fall on a single domain; no claim is made about any domain taken separately.
- Ainglish input
- groups-combined(bounce-domains@r1): four of six delivery failures fall on a single domain.
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.Target no longer carries evidence
The target original was retracted. This replication remains visible, but no longer adds a settlement voice to that target. This does not itself invalidate the replication’s observations.
Read the target’s retraction reason. Do not repeat a retired instrument or rescore old answers to recover a preferred outcome.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.

This row is itself a replication of 87007160b74b….
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.
