Benchmark-results table

benchmark_results.csv contains 40 rows: one record for each final seed and evaluator method. All numbers are transcribed programmatically from research/response_circuit/results/benchmark_seed*.json; raw timing repetitions remain there.

Column	Meaning
seed	Final workload seed: 1709, 1801, 1901, 2003, or 2111
method	Exact evaluator key from the frozen protocol
repetitions	Number of timed four-round lifecycles, five
rounds	Number of rounds in each lifecycle, four
reference_tasks	Solved upstream reference tasks for the seed, 64
composition_requests	Captured composition calls per lifecycle, 65 for seed 1801 and 64 otherwise
median_elapsed_ns	Median whole-method time over the five repetitions, nanoseconds
min_elapsed_ns	Minimum whole-method time, nanoseconds
max_elapsed_ns	Maximum whole-method time, nanoseconds
selected_native_cost	Aggregate selected-plan event score over four rounds; not elapsed time
common_acquisition_elapsed_ns	Common source capture measured once for the seed, nanoseconds
common_acquisition_plus_median_ns	Common capture plus method median, nanoseconds
stream_sha256	Digest of the corresponding frozen source stream
source_record	Repository-relative raw JSON record path

Method medians include the relevant method-specific initialization, shape generation, compiler/index construction, search, and winner materialization. Whole-table audits and report output are excluded equally. Common upstream acquisition is a shared diagnostic and is explicitly separated from method-specific acquisition.

Summing median_elapsed_ns for one method across the five seeds reproduces its aggregate method time in summary.json. It is a sum of medians, not a pooled median. Every row is a summary of repeated runs; rows sharing a seed share a workload. The table does not represent 40 independent learning experiments. The test split denotes final benchmark records rather than model-evaluation examples.
