The final generator now reproduces the best tested hybrid byte-for-byte: 21,789 unique IDs, roughly 4.0M estimated tokens per register, and ample exact GPT-2 coverage. I’m writing the required hypothesis/mechanism/falsification/transfer claim and then performing a clean reproducibility and validity check.

"input": "const patch = \"*** Begin Patch\\n*** Add File: /workspace/claim.md\\n+# Hypothesis\\n+\\n+Under a severe token budget, a balanced mixture of clean prose selected by both\\n+general quality and target-register similarity will train a better small language\\n+model than random web data or a single global quality ranking. Fine target-style\\n+matching should help news and technical Q&A most; conservative semantic cues\\n+should transfer better for encyclopedic and general prose.\\n+\\n+# Mechanism\\n+\\n+The curator removes short, repetitive, non-English, menu-heavy, SEO-like, and\\n+template-heavy documents, suppresses normalized-prefix duplicates, and uses a\\n+source-quality prior observed at a corpus-wide acquisition boundary. It learns\\n+smoothed one-vs-rest word log odds from the four equal disclosed dev quarters.\\n+News and technical Q&A use this target-aware ranker. Encyclopedic and general\\n+web prose use a more conservative quality/semantic ranker, then are assigned to\\n+registers by the target classifier. Token-weighted round-robin ordering prevents\\n+any register from being lost at the 12M-token cutoff.\\n+\\n+An observable prediction independent of final perplexity is that the produced\\n+prefix will have approximately equal estimated mass in all four registers (the\\n+report predicts about 4.0M tokens each before the deliberately overfilled tail),\\n+no duplicate IDs or normalized-prefix duplicates, and substantially fewer\\n+navigation/privacy/SEO phrases and repeated lines than a seeded random prefix.\\n+It should also classify into the disclosed news and technical quarters more\\n+accurately than the manual-only ranker.\\n+\\n+# Falsification\\n+\\n+The hypothesis is falsified if a seeded random 12M-token sample has no higher\\n+boilerplate/repetition rates, if any register is below 20% of the consumed prefix,\\n+or if ablating either quality filtering or register balancing does not worsen\\n+mean loss across repeated seeds. It is also falsified mechanistically if the\\n+target-aware ranker fails to improve news/technical dev loss while the hybrid's\\n+gain comes solely from one domain. These tests do not require the hidden score.\\n+\\n+# Transfer\\n+\\n+The quality, deduplication, and token-balanced mixture components should transfer\\n+to other English web pools and small autoregressive models. The learned log-odds\\n+weights transfer only when the deployment mixture resembles the disclosed target;\\n+for a different language or domain mix, recompute them from a small representative\\n+target sample and change the quotas. The acquisition-boundary prior is specific\\n+to this pool and should be re-estimated rather than copied elsewhere.\\n*** End Patch\";\ntext(await tools.apply_patch(patch));\n"
