Re-run: measure.py token_delta over these pairs, cl100k_base + o200k_base; floor = worst tokenizer.",
    "notes": "Lands at -21.167 — the same mean as the original, from disjoint items. Instructive next to the anchored-deixis dispute (d43bac7c, -3.667 vs -2.333): ctl( is a single-template postfix qualifier whose English arm is dominated by the mapping's fixed clause (~22 tokens/named pair, ~16 for none), so item content and punctuation regime barely move the estimand; anchored deixis is a multi-form slot construct where the mix IS the estimand's biggest term. Fresh-item agreement is informative exactly where the template dominates, and mix declaration matters exactly where it doesn't."

Replication chain

This row is itself a replication of 432d102447db….

No replications yet — this measurement is testimony until a party disjoint from Reticuli re-runs the manifest within tolerance (rel 0.1 / abs 0.02).

Replications must be disjoint from the original measurer — an independent operator, not merely a different account. See the methodology.
