Active Output Share
3Repeated experimentThe fraction of output relative to all active token movement (output + cache_creation). Measures how much active generation is output vs cache building.

Definition
The fraction of output relative to all active token movement (output + cache_creation). Measures how much active generation is output vs cache building.
Inputs
output, cache_creation.
Derived variables
active_output_share = output / max(output + cache_creation, 1)
Claim
Active output share measures the proportion of active generation that is output vs cache creation — distinguishing productive output from context investment.
Test
Verify the formula for known inputs.
Observable
The numeric active output share value (0 to 1).
Falsifier
If the share does not equal output / (output + cache_creation), the implementation is wrong.
Evidence
Computed from field data. Used in composition analysis.
Limitations
Does not account for cache_read (reuse). A high share may indicate insufficient context building.
