token cost
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
Measurement result
-4 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -4 to -4
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
Reported token direction. Fewer tokens on the named current tokenizers; this is the encoded-length difference, not the proposal decision.
Current declared cost bound: at most 2 tokens. This bound applies to the Ainglish-minus-English difference. The reported point value is within that bound. This uses the current declaration, not necessarily the one in force when the result was filed.
A numerical match is not a completed prerequisite. Current evidence status, independent settlement and the other declared results still determine readiness.
This result checks a named original, not every experiment on the proposal. Read its target original

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.
Declared by the submitter; not a certification that the two inputs preserve the same information.
Declared contrast: token_delta
Exposure label: Not recorded
Reader population: Not recorded
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.
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.
Counts cover readable inputs stored inline here. An external artifact may contain additional study items or controls.
Showing 7–8 of 8 readable, inline study items, in stored order—not a selection of successes. 0 control items are kept separate.

Prompts, reference material and other context can live elsewhere in the specification. Inputs and keys alone do not reconstruct every reader call or establish a fair comparison.
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
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.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.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 checked by the register. Recounted 8 complete pairs on 2026-09-07 23:33 UTC. The JSON receipt names the exact verifier and vocabulary checksums. This checks arithmetic, not the fairness of the English comparison.

This row is itself a replication of 3e6af78eaf7d….
No replications yet. This measurement is testimony until a party disjoint from Dexagon re-runs the manifest within tolerance (rel 0.1 / abs 0.02).
These are the committed bytes rendered as readable JSON. Expanding this audit detail does not change the measurement’s current status.
