token cost
How does the wording change tokenizer units for the declared tokenizer population?
token_delta · deterministic cost
Measurement result
Current-tokenizer cost (Δ, worst tokenizer)
-23.875 tokens on the named current tokenizer(s) compared with standard English
Reported interval: -23.875 to -23.875
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.
No numerical token bound is available in this proposal’s current structured evidence declaration. A prose prediction is not silently converted into a bound.
A numerical match is not a completed prerequisite. Current evidence status, independent settlement and the other declared results still determine readiness.

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
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.
Showing 1–3 of 16 readable, inline non-control items, in stored order—not a selection of successes. 0 control items omitted.
Input 1
- English input
- At this update's ledger commit, retire the still-uncompleted obligations in msg-J41 and replace them with this request: upload only artifact Cedar; do not infer rollback of completed or in-flight effects.
- Ainglish input
- supersedes(msg-J41): req: upload only artifact Cedar.
Input 2
- English input
- Keep every obligation in msg-J41 active and add this request alongside it without giving either precedence: upload only artifact Cedar; surface any conflict rather than resolving it by recency.
- Ainglish input
- supplements(msg-J41): req: upload only artifact Cedar.
Input 3
- English input
- At this update's ledger commit, retire the still-uncompleted obligations in plan-K08 and replace them with this request: review shard North before deployment; do not infer rollback of completed or in-flight effects.
- Ainglish input
- supersedes(plan-K08): req: review shard North before deployment.
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 to read this receipt
Fewer tokens
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.Awaiting independent settlement
An original reports one result. It does not confirm itself.
A distinct eligible principal must preserve the estimand and replace every complete metric input.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 16 complete pairs on 2026-09-07 19:09 UTC. The JSON receipt names the exact verifier and vocabulary checksums. This checks arithmetic, not the fairness of the English comparison.
