3Repeated experimentHow token flow is composed across the four pillars — the structural pattern of token usage.
Last updated: 2026-09-01Spec: SigRank Standard v1.0
Definition
How token flow is composed across the four pillars (input, output, cache_creation, cache_read). The structural pattern of token usage.
Inputs
The four raw token pillars.
Derived variables
Ratios between pillars (transmission, commitment, reuse), cascade structure.
Claim
Composition reveals how an operator structures their AI interaction — not just how much they produce, but how they use cache, reuse, and fresh input.
Test
Compare composition profiles across operators and archetypes.
Observable
Pillar ratios, cascade stage values, archetype classification.
Falsifier
If composition profiles are identical across all operators, composition is not a meaningful measurement.
Evidence
10 composition archetypes identified across 4 families in field data.
Limitations
Composition is descriptive, not evaluative — a composition profile is not "better" without context.
