What the article says around this equation
The sequence matters. A word-count ablation is not a redaction ladder. It would reward accidental brevity and leave the causal object undefined. Each removal must correspond to an auditable cue class—implementation location, diagnosis, behavioral example, scope boundary, or priority rule—and the article’s hypothesis concerns the completion alternatives that remain plausible after that cue is gone . A removed clue can reduce token length while leaving unchanged. Conversely, one short phrase such as “without breaking legacy callers” can collapse several completion classes while adding very few tokens.
