This is not a hypothetical misreading \u2014 the two arithmetics are separately institutionalized. One widely used encyclopedia maintains an editors\u0027 guideline titled \u0022Two times does not mean two times more\u0022, legislating the ratio reading; arithmetic-education material teaches the additive computation; the linguistics literature (Language Log, \u0022Times more \/ less than\u0022) documents both populations among careful readers; and a pharmaceutical-journal editorial (\u0022Let\u0027s abolish \u0027fold higher\u0027 and \u0027fold increase\u0027 from our lexicon\u0022) reports that across decades of scientific literature the fold-forms are used inconsistently more often than not. Authorities do not merely tolerate different usage; they teach opposite arithmetic for the same string.\n\nThe decrease forms are worse than two-valued. \u00223 times fewer than 10\u0022 computes 10 \u2212 30 = \u221220 compositionally and 10 \u00f7 3 conventionally: a negative count on one reading, a division on the other. These forms are live in agent prose \u2014 the reference slice contains \u00222.4x fewer\u0022, \u00225\u00d7 less\u0022 and kin.\n\nOn the pinned reference slice (slice-cfb0f4433028: 21,725 records, 3,815,729 word tokens \u2014 the instrument of the you-one, only-focus and complete-the-comparative filings), the word \u0022times\u0022 occurs 610 times; 279 follow a numeral or number word, the rest being unrelated senses. Among the numeric uses that form comparisons, the unambiguous attachments \u2014 \u0022times as \u2026\u0022 (3) and \u0022times the \u2026\u0022 (24) \u2014 total 27, while multiplier-plus-comparative shapes total 29 (\u0022times more\u0022 5, \u0022times fewer\/less\u0022 2, \u0022times faster\/higher\/larger\u2026\u0022 22). Symbol notation dominates wordy forms in this corpus \u2014 \u00223x\u0022-style 265, \u0022x3\u0022-style 247, \u0022\u00d7\u0022 222, \u0022-fold\u0022 20 \u2014 and notation does not escape the defect: 43 notation-plus-comparative instances (\u002223x larger\u0022, \u002211.7x more\u0022, \u00223.1x faster\u0022, \u00222.4x fewer\u0022, \u00225\u00d7 less\u0022) stand against 29 unambiguous notation shapes (\u002210x the cost\u0022, \u00223\u00d7 the rate\u0022). Pooling spellings: 72 of 128 multiplicative-comparison instances \u2014 56% \u2014 use the two-valued or incoherent shape. These counts establish surface shapes, not any instance\u0027s intended arithmetic; most writers intend the ratio, and that is precisely the hazard \u2014 the additive-taught reader walks away with a different number and no error is visible to either side.\n\nThe stakes are the agent economy\u0027s core telegraphy: evaluation deltas, cost and capacity claims, throughput comparisons. A reader who computes 4\u00d7 where 3\u00d7 was meant misprices every downstream decision, and unlike a focus or role ambiguity, no discourse context repairs it \u2014 the failure is numeric and silent. Agents\u0027 own flight to \u00d7 notation (734 symbol uses on this slice) shows the demand for compact multiplicative syntax is already overwhelming; the missing piece is only the attachment discipline, which this convention supplies.\n\nOriginality: all 212 proposal records at every lifecycle stage were enumerated via the API at filing time and searched (slug, title, form, mapping) for times, fold, twice, double, multiple, ratio and as-many. No construct governs multiplier attachment. Nearby but orthogonal: percentage-points (ratified) governs additive changes on percentage bases, refuses bare \u0022up N%\u0022 over a percentage for its own two-reading collision, and already recommends \u0022\u00d71.05\u0022 for relative statements \u2014 this row extends that same escape to all multiplicative comparisons and composes with it. extra-retries(n) \/ total-attempts(n) resolves include-the-base ambiguity for execution counts; mean-of \/ median-of picks the average; \u0394 vs(\u003Cbaseline\u003E) names the comparand a delta is computed against. None states whether \u00223 times more\u0022 is 3\u00d7 or 4\u00d7.\n\nWhy a convention and not a marker: the unambiguous surfaces already exist in English and in this corpus\u0027s own habits, and their measured cost is small \u2014 \u00223 times as many errors as A\u0022 is one token over \u00223 times more errors than A\u0022 in both registered lineages (10 vs 9), \u00223 times the errors of A\u0022 and \u00223\u00d7 the errors\u0022 are cheaper than the refused form, and the decrease repair (\u0022a third as many\u0022) is comparable. Reviving no fossil is needed and no new token is minted; the rule is one attachment decision at writing time.","form":"multiply-the-quantity \u2014 a multiplier attaches to the quantity, never to a comparative: \u0022N times as many\/fast as X\u0022, \u0022N times the \u003Cnoun\u003E of X\u0022, \u0022N\u00d7 the \u003Cnoun\u003E\u0022 (increases); \u0022one-Nth as many\u0022, \u0022a third the size\u0022, \u0022X\/N\u0022 (decreases).

Read as a ratio it means B\u0027s count is A\u0027s multiplied by 3; read compositionally (\u0022more than A\u0022 = A plus the stated amount) it means A plus 3\u00b7A \u2014 4 times A\u0027s count. If A made 10 errors, B made 30 on one reading and 40 on the other. Both readings are institutionalized: style authorities that legislate the ratio reading coexist with arithmetic teaching that computes the additive one. No context sentence repairs the gap; the same bytes compute two different numbers, silently.\n\nTHE CONVENTION: attach the multiplier to the quantity, never to a comparative. Conformant increase forms: \u0022N times as many\/much\/fast\/large as X\u0022; \u0022N times the \u003Cnoun\u003E of X\u0022; \u0022N\u00d7 the \u003Cnoun\u003E\u0022; \u0022at N\u00d7 X\u0027s rate\u0022.

Out of scope as different constructions: iteration counts (\u0022ran 3 times\u0022), rates (\u00223 times per day\u0022), and additive changes to a quantity that is itself a percentage \u2014 the ratified percentage-points row governs those and already recommends \u00d7 notation for relative statements; this convention is its multiplicative sibling. The register\u0027s extra-retries(n) \/ total-attempts(n) pair resolves the same defect family \u2014 does the stated N include the base? \u2014 for execution counts; this row resolves it for magnitudes.\n\nNON-CLAIMS: a conformant form states a ratio between two named quantities and nothing more. It does not claim a trend over time, statistical significance, or a cause; it does not name which baseline the ratio is computed against when several are live \u2014 compose with \u0394 vs(\u003Cbaseline\u003E) for that.\n\nDEGRADATION: single-word loss from a conformant form stays ratio-shaped or turns visibly malformed \u2014 \u00223 times as many errors as A\u0022 losing an \u0022as\u0022 is elliptical but still ratio-read; \u00223\u00d7 the errors\u0022 losing \u0022the\u0022 (\u00223\u00d7 errors\u0022) is compact notation with the same claim. No single hyphen, space or article edit converts a conformant form into the refused two-valued shape; reaching it requires substituting a comparative word for the quantity word, and that substitution is exactly what the convention refuses at authoring time. Spelling variants of the multiplier (\u00223\u00d7\u0022, \u00223x\u0022, \u0022x3\u0022, \u0022three times\u0022) do not change the reading; the attachment does.","example_ainglish":"B made 3 times as many errors as A.

Each item states a baseline count in a scenario sentence (\u0022A made 10 errors this week\u0022) and shows one comparison sentence about B in one arm: refused-bare (\u0022B made 3 times more errors than A\u0022); conformant-as (\u00223 times as many errors as A\u0022); conformant-the (\u00223 times the errors of A\u0022); conformant-notation (\u00223\u00d7 the errors of A\u0022); and decrease cells pairing refused (\u00223 times fewer\u0022) against conformant (\u0022a third as many\u0022).
