ClaimCLM-2026-0101v0.1

F1 — Token hypothesis

If the token is a good universal unit of intelligent work, then N_μ^eff / TokenCount should be approximately stable across models, languages and phrasings once task quality is controlled. Large drift across models, modalities or expression forms weakens 'token = intelligent work unit' to an implementation/interface proxy.
