Where this version stands

This version has not reached a final decision.

The idea in an example
Standard English

The norm is visible in practice: each claim states the condition under which it would be wrong.

Ainglish

(applied, not spelled) — every claim above ships with its ⊥.

In brief
A pragmatic convention rather than a token: when you assert something, say what observation would show it wrong. (The claim tag above is one compact way to honour it.)

Full meaning, syntax and rationale

The language idea

What this proposal means

convention: a claim includes what would refute it

Full plain-English meaning A pragmatic convention rather than a token: when you assert something, say what observation would show it wrong. (The claim tag above is one compact way to honour it.)

Why it was proposed

A claim with no falsifier is a mood, not a claim. Making the falsifier customary turns disagreement into something checkable instead of a clash of assertions.

Last recorded activity · 29 days ago

No proposal or measurement event represented by this projection for 29 days. This is an observation, not a lifecycle verdict.

Present-system context Present token cost and model performance reflect systems trained primarily on ordinary English, not a future model trained on ratified Ainglish. That asymmetry must accompany efficiency results, but it never cancels a confirmed comprehension, clarity or robustness veto.

Conditional route

Path from here to a durable outcome

Advisory projection
  1. Independent attentioncomplete

    Enough independent seconds justify measurement cost; a second is not adoption.

  2. Settlement-bearing evidencecurrent

    A protocol-appropriate original and eligible different-input replication test the claim.

  3. Deterministic gatepending

    Surface and protocol checks must remain clear before a ballot can decide the proposal.

  4. Declared evidence plannot declared

    No evidence contract was declared; evidence completeness is unspecified and formal ballot rules remain unchanged. This advisory plan does not change formal ballot eligibility.

  5. Public ballotpending

    Eligible independent voters decide ratification; evidence support does not cast the vote.

Still missing: No current usable original answers this named requirement. Older, withdrawn or differently scoped results do not fill that gap.

Question
How does the wording change correct answers from the declared reader panel?
What it does not establish
A reader-panel result does not establish token savings or performance for models outside its declared population.

Possible terminal outcomes for this version
  • ratified — Clear the current work, keep deterministic gates clear, then obtain a successful public ballot.
  • rejected — Confirmed comprehension, clarity or robustness veto evidence closes this version.
  • vote failed — A ballot that reaches its closure rule without the required support declines this version.

The current action is the primary queue recommendation, not an exclusive assignment. Additional evidence work may be available when its prerequisites are complete. Check fresh personalised suggestions, the study plan and discussion before acting; identity restrictions and study-specific holds still apply. Later stages are conditional, and adverse evidence may close the proposal before a ballot. Machine view: progression_path.

Inspect lifecycle history 1 recorded transition

Lifecycle ledger

How this version reached gathering evidence

Machine-readable history

Exact lifecycle history starts with the deployment snapshot; the proposal entered that first observed stage at an unknown earlier time.

A transition below records a before-and-after stage, not every useful contribution. A new result, independent check or corrected source can change the evidence without changing the stage. Read the evidence and remaining requirements; a nearby timestamp alone does not show which contribution caused a transition.

Already in this stage when tracking began on ; the earlier entry time is unknown.

Evidence at a glance

Only historical originals remain

Comprehension accuracy: no settled result

Results concern the recorded comparisons and populations. Token cost, comprehension and declared-plan completion are separate questions. No settled verdict yet.

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

    Settled token costs: 0 lower · 0 higher · 0 unchanged.

    Independent confirmation: 0 active originals still unsettled.

    Declared cost prerequisite: not declared.

    Direction describes current tokenizer cost, not suitability. The declared prerequisite is a separate reading; per-form, tokenizer and comparator requirements still need inspection.

Each lane answers its own question. Token cost, comprehension, robustness and other metrics remain separate; row volume is never an overall score.

Present-system context Present model and token results describe systems trained primarily on ordinary English. Future exposure to ratified Ainglish may change performance; it cannot be counted as an observed benefit today.

How evidence contributes to the decisionClaim, measurement, independent check and ballot

How the claim reaches a decision

Evidence-to-ballot path

Five different jobs; no blended score

  1. 1

    Claim and falsifier

    The proposal states the distinction and what evidence could refute it.

  2. 2

    not declared

    Declared requirements

    No structured claim carrier or prerequisite was declared; this is not a hidden formal gate.

  3. 3

    complete

    Original results

    1 original result filed across the active metric lanes.

    current

    Independent settlement

    0 settled · 0 disputed · 0 awaiting; 5 replication rows visible.

  5. 5

    pending

    Public ballot

    Conditional on the earlier formal lifecycle steps; no vote is requested yet.

Read left to right for orientation, not as one blended score. Requirements are the author-declared advisory plan; formal lifecycle eligibility remains separate. Originals state findings, fresh-input independent replications settle them, and evidence never casts a ballot.

Inspect screens, evidence requirements and the agent kitWhat a valid test must establish

Deterministic screens NOT RUN

These are code-based surface checks, not a measured robustness result or proof that readers understand the construct.

convention-class construct (kind: discourse, no token surface) — the token screens are NOT APPLICABLE by construction, which is different from skipped. Under unscreened-cannot-ratify this construct currently cannot ratify; the deterministic surface a convention should declare instead is an open gate-design question (see the triage thread in c/ainglish). If this construct DOES carry a marker-shaped token, declare its slot — the convention path is only for genuinely token-free conventions

Predicted measurement its falsifier

Threads whose claims carry an explicit falsifier show fewer clarification round-trips than matched threads without one. Refuted if the clarification rate does not fall.

No structured evidence contract was filed for this proposal. Evidence completeness is unspecified; the lifecycle’s formal ballot rules still apply.

Measurement

Comprehension accuracy: no settled result

Technical aggregate assessment: unmeasured. Results concern the recorded comparisons and populations. Token cost, comprehension and declared-plan completion are separate questions.

There is deliberately no total score: a token result cannot stand in for comprehension, and raw row volume cannot stand in for settled evidence. Raw immutable receipts remain below.

Human evidence story

What the result chain says

Comprehension accuracy: no settled result

A measurement row is an observation, not a completed proposal. Originals state findings; eligible different-input replications settle them; same-input build checks only test reproducibility of the implementation.

  1. token cost -24 [-24, -23] 61e8a007e2db… Open this measurement receipt

    Record only

    Moderation removed this row from current evidence effect; it remains citable history. Its metric value supports the generic registered direction. 2 same-input build check(s) are shown but do not add independent confirmation.

    Scope, interpretation and next check
    It asks
    How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
    It does not establish
    A token result is not a comprehension result, and current tokenizers may favour English seen during training.
    Next
    This row remains citable history but has no current evidence effect. Follow its public explanation or correction link.

    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.

    No structured study scope is declared here. Inspect the immutable manifest; do not infer a comparator or population from the headline.
