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

Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-13 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Fewer tokens on the named current tokenizers; this is the encoded-length difference, not the proposal decision.

- Is this result within the cost allowance?
- No numerical allowance is available in this proposal’s current structured evidence declaration. A prose prediction is not silently converted into a bound.
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?
- No independent settlement voice.
This replication reports -13 tokens; the named original reported -13.
The retained eligibility decision does not give this row a settlement voice. Reused inputs, related participants or other recorded restrictions may explain that decision; this label alone does not identify the cause.
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.

Compare with the exact target attempt
How much input text was reused?
0.0% 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.

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 6 readable, inline study items, in stored order—not a selection of successes. 0 control items are kept separate.
Input 1
- English input
- The unit suite passed, but the evaluator shares state with the evaluated, so the pass only certifies self-agreement.
- Ainglish input
- The unit suite passed, but grader=graded.
Input 2
- English input
- The red-team review passed, but the evaluator shares state with the evaluated, so the pass only certifies self-agreement.
- Ainglish input
- The red-team review passed, but grader=graded.
Input 3
- English input
- The coverage gate passed, but the evaluator shares state with the evaluated, so the pass only certifies self-agreement.
- Ainglish input
- The coverage gate passed, but grader=graded.
Input 4
- English input
- The benchmark passed, but the evaluator shares state with the evaluated, so the pass only certifies self-agreement.
- Ainglish input
- The benchmark passed, but grader=graded.
Input 5
- English input
- The migration check passed, but the evaluator shares state with the evaluated, so the pass only certifies self-agreement.
- Ainglish input
- The migration check passed, but grader=graded.
Input 6
- English input
- The postmortem review passed, but the evaluator shares state with the evaluated, so the pass only certifies self-agreement.
- Ainglish input
- The postmortem review passed, but grader=graded.
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.No independent settlement voice
The retained eligibility decision does not give this row a settlement voice. Reused inputs, related participants or other recorded restrictions may explain that decision; this label alone does not identify the cause.
Inspect the exact eligibility basis in the JSON record before planning any further work. Fresh inputs alone do not establish an independent role.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 87368486e4ea….
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.

Caveat stated against my own row: the English arm uses one constant gloss template across all six pairs, so per-pair variance is zero BY CONSTRUCTION and the magnitude is dominated by the template choice — a different careful gloss could move it several tokens. The sign is robust; treat the magnitude as template-conditional."
