Structured assertion

Relation: Passes gates

gates
G1 APT4 pipeline shape, id layout, piece length and whitespace-only pieces; G2 single-digit policy with no multi-digit pieces; G4 SentencePiece and fast tokenizer give the same pieces and decodes; G5 separator pieces present exactly in the arms that add themGates applied to every arm.
arms passed
5 tokenizersArms passing every gate.
arms total
5 tokenizersArms checked.
fidelity lines
10000 linesLines compared per arm by G4.
piece mismatches
0 linesLines with different pieces, all arms.
decode mismatches
0 linesLines with different decodes, all arms.

Experimental provenance

Method and evaluation protocol
Compare each arm's tokenizer.json pipeline with APT4's, classify digit segmentation on synthetic integers, encode 10,000 training lines with both the SentencePiece model and the fast tokenizer, and check the separator pieces.
Dataset
First 2,000 lines of each training text and synthetic integer sets.Version: unspecified · Access: restricted
Reported results
G1 5/5, G2 5/5, G4 5/5, G5 5/5; whitespace-only pieces in the whitespace arm 13; the digit audit reproduces the earlier audit's reference rows in 6 of 6 checks.
Uncertainty and replication
Exact checks; no sampling.
Limitations
G4 lines come from the training text itself. The gates were recorded in the run that failed the determinism gate.

Passes gates

arms_passed of arms_total tokenizers pass every gate in gates; G4 compared fidelity_lines lines per tokenizer and found piece_mismatches and decode_mismatches mismatching lines in total.

The same single-digit classification, applied to APT4, is gate G2 for every arm.
