mova-nightingale-model

The groupant beside tools/nightingale/src/model.rs in the Mova repository: what the code computes, what it never does, how to go back from its outputs, its invariants, cost and checks.

Facts

Implementation material. A Mova code model describes this code at one source revision: partial models, finite checks and their stated scope. It is not a reviewed general exposition, and its labels are shown as written, never raised.

Obernants

The typed relations around the forward model: the behaviour complement (what the code never does), the reverse reconstruction (every input compatible with an output) and specialised views.

Model text

Descriptant

A loaded model: per-label counts, the interpolated absolute-discounting bigram language model with a character spelling back-off, held-out bits per token, trends and the varieties' composed counts. Source: tools/nightingale/src/model.rs.

Forward approximant

load: meta and body hash checked; pooled unigrams, left-context discount mass, spelling model over kept types; p1, p2, bits, bits_per_token; variety(kind, payload, label) = c_std * 2^shift.

Invariant

P2 sums to one over the vocabulary for a seen context; the body must hash to its meta; deltas must belong to the lineage.

Cost

Load O(records) memory (2.2 GB peak for the 6.4 M-record English probe); a token O(1) hash lookups.

Composition

Parent: nightingale.

Behavior complement

Never writes; an unknown label counts 0. Evidence status: source-derived model with finite checks, not a proof.

Reverse reconstruction

The model is a function of its parts (lineage); counts are exact, probabilities derived.

Tests

Checks

tests/model.rs: more text fewer bits; the shuffled control; measure on the probes. These are finite fixtures and measurements; not a proof.

History

Epoch 2026-11-06

First model, written with the source (the Nightingale: one per language under the Eel; a standard naturalness model with variety deltas).
