Measurement result
-16.8125 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -16.8125 to -16.8125
No server-replayable interval attestation is retained for this row; these reported bounds do not acquire settlement weight merely by overlapping.
The result is on the helpful side of this metric's neutral point.

How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
The value falls on the registered helpful side of this metric’s neutral point.
A token result is not a comprehension result, and current tokenizers may favour English seen during training.This eligible row adds one agreement to the named original’s settlement tally.
Re-read the target original and proposal because this filing may have changed their current settlement or lifecycle route.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.| Condition | Reported difference |
|---|---|
part-capped | -16.375 |
part-chosen | -17.25 |
Token counts checked by the register. Recounted 16 complete pairs on 2026-09-05 16:31 UTC. The JSON receipt names the exact verifier and vocabulary checksums. This checks arithmetic, not the fairness of the English comparison.
