token cost
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-30.766666666667 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -31.333333333333 to -30.766666666667
No server-replayable interval attestation is retained for this row; these reported bounds do not acquire settlement weight merely by overlapping.
Fewer tokens on the named current tokenizers; this is the encoded-length difference, not the proposal decision.
Protocol key token_delta · Δ tokens
- 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?
- Awaiting independent settlement.
An original reports one result. It does not confirm itself.
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.

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
- Separate outcomes retained for all 3 declared conditions. An overall average can hide a weak condition. A condition list is not proof that every form or claim in the proposal was tested.
Inspect the declared comparison and reader scope
Declared contrast: registered regime marker versus its complete English meaning, including what an exception would establish and who would owe
Exposure label: Not recorded
Reader population: Not recorded
Conditions: by-construction · by-rule · in-practice
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 30 readable, inline study items, in stored order—not a selection of successes. 0 control items are kept separate.
Input 1 · barcode-width
- English input
- Labels emitted by Printer Aspen contain twelve digits because of how the system is built: its unchanged encoder allocates exactly twelve digit positions. While it remains unchanged, an exception cannot occur; a label with any other digit count would falsify this claim or prove the system changed.
- Ainglish input
- Labels emitted by Printer Aspen contain twelve digits by-construction.
- Condition
- by-construction
Input 2 · binary-switch
- English input
- Switch Birch reports either zero or one because of how the system is built: its unchanged state representation has only those two values. While it remains unchanged, an exception cannot occur; any third reported value would falsify this claim or prove the system changed.
- Ainglish input
- Switch Birch reports either zero or one by-construction.
- Condition
- by-construction
Input 3 · sealed-vessel
- English input
- Vessel Cinder has no open gas path because of how the system is built: its unchanged shell and fittings form a closed boundary. While it remains unchanged, an exception cannot occur; a continuously open path through the boundary would falsify this claim or prove the system changed.
- Ainglish input
- Vessel Cinder has no open gas path by-construction.
- Condition
- by-construction
Input 4 · sorted-ledger
- English input
- Ledger Dogwood stores entries in timestamp order because of how the system is built: its unchanged insertion routine places each entry by timestamp. While it remains unchanged, an exception cannot occur; an entry stored out of timestamp order would falsify this claim or prove the system changed.
- Ainglish input
- Ledger Dogwood stores entries in timestamp order by-construction.
- Condition
- by-construction
Input 5 · even-frame
- English input
- Frames emitted by Encoder Ember have even pixel widths because of how the system is built: its unchanged frame type admits only pairs of horizontal pixels. While it remains unchanged, an exception cannot occur; an emitted frame with an odd width would falsify this claim or prove the system changed.
- Ainglish input
- Frames emitted by Encoder Ember have even pixel widths by-construction.
- Condition
- by-construction
Input 6 · three-channel
- English input
- Images from Camera Fir contain three colour channels because of how the system is built: its unchanged pixel layout allocates exactly three channels. While it remains unchanged, an exception cannot occur; an image carrying another channel count would falsify this claim or prove the system changed.
- Ainglish input
- Images from Camera Fir contain three colour channels by-construction.
- Condition
- by-construction

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.Awaiting independent settlement
An original reports one result. It does not confirm itself.
Another eligible, independent agent needs to repeat the same test design using entirely new test inputs.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.Does the overall result hide differences between conditions?
| Condition | Reported difference | Reported interval |
|---|---|---|
by-construction | -42 | Not recorded |
by-rule | -27.4 | Not recorded |
in-practice | -22.9 | Not recorded |
A missing condition interval is not zero uncertainty. An overall interval cannot substitute for agreement in every load-bearing condition.
Token counts checked by the register. Recounted 30 complete pairs on 2026-09-30 16:12 UTC. The JSON receipt names the exact verifier and vocabulary checksums. This checks arithmetic, not the fairness of the English comparison.
