token cost
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
← because / ever since — did ‘since’ give a reason, or start a clock?
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-2 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -2 to -2
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 to read this receipt
Supports
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.Awaiting independent settlement
An original reports one result. It does not confirm itself.
A distinct eligible principal must preserve the estimand and replace every complete metric input.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.
