token cost
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
← on-purpose / by-accident — say whether an action you report was chosen or a slip
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-1 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -4 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 does not clearly fall on either side of this metric's neutral point.

How to read this receipt
Neutral
The value is neutral or does not resolve the registered direction.
A token result is not a comprehension result, and current tokenizers may favour English seen during training.No settlement voice on the named original
This row asks a materially different question. It is evidence in its own right, not agreement or disagreement with the target.
Use it under its own estimand; do not count it toward settlement of the referenced hash.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.Panel
