Velocity
Output per fresh input. How much an operator produces relative to new input.
Definition
Output per fresh input. How much an operator produces relative to new input.
Inputs
output, input.
Derived variables
velocity = output / max(input, 1)
Claim
Velocity measures the raw output efficiency — how much output an operator generates per unit of fresh input.
Test
Verify velocity = output / max(input, 1) for known inputs.
Observable
The numeric velocity value.
Falsifier
If velocity does not equal output / max(input, 1), the implementation is wrong.
Evidence
Canonical test. Field data shows velocity distributions.
Limitations
Ignores cache creation cost. High velocity may indicate efficient output OR may indicate insufficient context reuse.
