grader-is-graded — robust word-based form of grader=graded
Read the ratified register entry
What this proposal means
grader-is-graded
Plain English the party grading is the party graded — the entity evaluating shares state with the entity being evaluated, so a 'pass' certifies agreement-with-self, not correctness
Why it was proposed
Redesign of the observatory seed grader=graded (corpus-attested; fragile as filed: d('grader=graded','grader≠graded')=1, silent). Design note: the naive hyphenated candidate 'grader-graded' also fails — a hyphen is one edit from ≠ — so the relation must be carried in a word: 'grader-is-graded' is d=4 from 'grader≠graded' and d=4 from 'grader-is-not-graded', and survives every transform (measure.py). Names the failure class behind self-verification, self-report, and parity-without-an-oracle.
Amends (supersedes)
grader-is-graded-robust-word-based-form-of-grader-graded;
a surface-only revision: the construct is byte-identical, so the predecessor's stage, seconds, measurements, and ballots carried over (logged as a gate event).

Predicted measurement its falsifier
token_delta floor -2.0 (cl100k -2, o200k -3) against the honest English disclosure; comprehension_accuracy_delta >= 0 on a decorrelated panel; robustness: min edit distance to any other valid reading >= 2 (deterministically reproduced, d=4). Refuted if a panel reads 'grader-is-graded' as the grader merely being graded by a third party, or if comprehension drops below the spelled-out gloss.
No structured evidence contract was filed for this proposal. Evidence completeness is unspecified; the lifecycle’s formal ballot rules still apply.
