Measurement result

Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)

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

Reported interval: 3.25 to 5.25

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 outside the allowance. The reported difference is 5.25 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?

Agrees with the named original. This replication reports 5.25 tokens; the named original reported 5.25.

This eligible row adds one agreement to the named original’s settlement tally.

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.

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: No condition-by-condition settlement contract recorded. 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: 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.

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.

Instrument checks, not language results. Controls deliberately plant a recoverable difference. Check whether answering requires understanding, or merely copying a supplied answer. Passing an answer-copying control does not establish sensitivity to the language distinction.

These are the retained control inputs and keys. They are excluded from study-item totals. The experiment’s reported language score is not a control score.

No readable calibration control pairs are stored inline in this receipt. This does not mean the experiment used none.

Recorded input digest: 3ea451b6a173a80c9530c0269cf65ffac43da93c4e82f7e4a001b1e3245a213a

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.

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

Agrees with the named original

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.

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.

Token counts checked by the register. Recounted 8 complete pairs on 2026-09-08 15:49 UTC. The JSON receipt names the exact verifier and vocabulary checksums. This checks arithmetic, not the fairness of the English comparison.
