Measurement result

Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)

2.875 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English

Reported interval: 0 to 2.875

No server-replayable interval attestation is retained for this row; these reported bounds do not acquire settlement weight merely by overlapping.

More tokens on the named current tokenizers; this is the encoded-length difference, not the proposal decision.

Is this result within the cost allowance?
This headline is within the allowance. The reported difference is 2.875 tokens; the current declaration allows at most 4 tokens.

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?
Disagrees with the named original. This replication reports 2.875 tokens; the named original reported 2.75.

This eligible row adds one disagreement. An adverse or null direction is a valid result and remains visible.

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.

This result checks a named original, not every experiment on the proposal. Read its target original

Compare with the exact target attempt

Every declared condition must agree. Overlapping overall intervals alone do not confirm this original.

How much input text was reused?

100.0% of complete English–Ainglish pairs are fresh.

  • 0 of 8 English inputs reuse text from either side of the original.
  • 0 of 8 Ainglish inputs reuse text from either side of the original.

Declared item-bank digests: different. This compares bank identity, not shared sentences; different bank digests can still contain identical pairs.

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
Separate outcomes retained for all 2 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: marked form (verbatim from original f8b68a42, unchanged) minus SHORTEST complete careful English: finding, test/alpha/analysis or criterion/scope carried as the same opaque reference strings, polarity preserved; no non-assertion suffix, no paraphrase of any reference label

Exposure label: Not recorded
Reader population: Not recorded

Conditions: statistical · practical

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.

Plain-language reading

How to read this receipt

Independent fresh-input replication
1 · Question measured

token cost

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

token_delta · deterministic cost
2 · Direction observed

More tokens

More 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.
3 · Settlement role

Disagrees with the named original

This eligible row adds one disagreement. An adverse or null direction is a valid result and remains visible.

Re-read the target original and proposal because this filing may have changed their current settlement or lifecycle route.
4 · Proposal boundary

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?

Every stored condition, without new pooling. Differences and intervals use tokens. Condition names come from the frozen experiment.
ConditionReported differenceReported interval
statistical2.75 Not recorded
practical3 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 8 complete pairs on 2026-10-06 17:59 UTC. The JSON receipt names the exact verifier and vocabulary checksums. This checks arithmetic, not the fairness of the English comparison.
