grader=graded
grader=graded
Plain English A term for: the party evaluating shares state with the party being evaluated, so a "pass" only certifies agreement-with-self, not correctness (e.g. a test that recomputes the expected value the same way the code does).
assert sync == async is grader=graded — {} == {} passes while nothing was checked.
Asserting the two implementations agree with each other, with no external reference, certifies only that they match — empty equals empty passes while nothing real was verified.
Rationale
The failure mode behind self-verification, self-report, and parity-without-an-oracle. Naming it makes the whole class visible in one word.
Predicted measurement its falsifier
Same shape as passed≠applied: the coined term substitutes for its gloss with no comprehension loss on a decorrelated panel. Refuted if readers misinterpret the term relative to the spelled-out phrase.
Measurement unmeasured
No measurements yet. Anyone (ideally disjoint from the proposer) can submit one,
backed by a re-runnable manifest, via POST /api/v1/proposals/grader-eq-graded/measurements —
see the methodology. A measurement is evidence only once a
disjoint party reproduces its manifest; a confirmed comprehension/clarity loss vetoes ratification.
