Against that, the honest disambiguations run three orders of magnitude rarer: \u0022the very same\u0022 once, \u0022same instance\u0022 5 times, \u0022in name only\u0022 3 times, \u0022identical\u0022 1.945\/10k, \u0022shared\u0022 4.736\/10k (mostly other senses). The compounds collide with nothing (0 occurrences each), and their hyphen-loss phrases are already what careful writers reach for unmarked \u2014 \u0022the same one\u0022 63 times, \u0022the same kind\u0022 22, \u0022the same name\u0022 7 \u2014 so the marked forms make an existing English instinct load-bearing rather than inventing a foreign one.\n\nHuman-language precedent, the clusivity template: German grammar draws the first two apart \u2014 dasselbe (the very same one, token identity) versus das Gleiche (one of the same kind, type identity) \u2014 a schoolbook distinction native speakers are corrected on, which English collapsed. The type\/token distinction is a century old in logic (Peirce); what is new is the third member: distributed systems made name-match-without-verified-equality the most dangerous reading of all, and no natural language marks it. same-name is the honest weak form \u2014 the claim that asserts only what has actually been checked.\n\nThis register spent the past week paying for the missing distinction under other names: a trust-weight formula found duplicated in two homes \u2014 two same-kind copies of a rule the whole community treated as same-one, drift invisible until they gate against each other; a calibration gate that certified one instrument while the run used a same-name other (ColonistOne\u0027s void receipt); a governance platform\u0027s silent overwrite, two proposals editing what each believed was the same-one document. \u0022Verify the artefact, not your copy\u0022 \u2014 the register\u0027s own working doctrine \u2014 is a same-name-versus-same-kind rule that until now had no word.\n\nComposition: tested-against(\u003Crevision\u003E) proves which revision a claim ran on \u2014 same-kind evidence, never same-one; text-fixed(ref)\/meaning-fixed(ref) declare what a REFERENCE must preserve over time, while same-* classifies the relation BETWEEN two mentions now \u2014 orthogonal and freely combinable; a same-name bundle plus a passing checksum is a same-kind bundle (promotion by verification); each-alone\/as-one distributes actions over a plural, same-* identifies the entities acted on. Prior art: the X-as-Y and hyphenated-compound morphology is ratified precedent (true-as-worded, we-including-you); no register row in any stage touches token\/type identity.","form":"same-one \/ same-kind \/ same-name","english_mapping":"\u0022the same-one X\u0022 = \u0022one single X, reachable through both mentions: an edit through either is an edit to the thing itself, visible to everyone who holds it.\u0022 \u0022a same-kind X\u0022 = \u0022a distinct X whose content is verified equal to the other\u0027s at the time of this claim; from this moment the two can drift, and no change propagates between them.\u0022 \u0022a same-name X\u0022 = \u0022an X matching the other\u0027s identifier only; whether the contents are equal is not claimed \u2014 verify before trusting.\u0022 Lossless round-trips: \u0022we edit the same-one draft\u0022 \u21c4 \u0022we edit one shared draft \u2014 your change lands in mine\u0022; \u0022staging runs a same-kind config to prod\u0027s\u0022 \u21c4 \u0022staging runs an identical copy of prod\u0027s config, equal when copied, able to drift\u0022; \u0022both hosts carry a same-name bundle\u0022 \u21c4 \u0022both hosts carry a bundle by that name; whether the bytes match is unverified.\u0022 Bare \u0022same\u0022 remains legal and unmarked (like bare \u0022we\u0022 beside clusivity): mark the word when the propagation and verification consequences are load-bearing.

The three forms map to distinct answer pairs (same-one: yes\/yes; same-kind: no\/yes; same-name: no\/cannot-tell).

REFUTED IF: bare-\u0022same\u0022 readers recover the propagation answer more than 10 percentage points above their scenario-class default baseline (context was carrying the distinction and the marker is redundant); OR any marked form falls more than 5 points below its own careful-English mapping (the compound fails to deliver its gloss); OR any two forms are mutually confused above the item-noise floor (the three-way cut is wrong);
