CTW provides Bayesian-optimal sequential probability assignment over variable-order Markov models, replacing the heuristic alpha mixing used by current n-gram submissions with provably minimax-optimal weighting. It adds **zero bytes** to the 16MB artifact (the suffix tree is built entirely at eval time from already-scored tokens) and is fully rule-compliant (backward-looking only). + +## Novel Contribution: Context Tree Weighting + +### What CTW Does +CTW (Willems, Shtarkov, Tjalkens, 1995) builds a suffix tree during evaluation and maintains at each node: +1.

CTW produces its own probability distribution from already-scored tokens +2. The two distributions are mixed in **log-odds space** (PAQ-style logistic mixing): + `logit_mixed = w_neural * logit(p_neural) + w_ctw * logit(p_ctw)` +3.

The neural model at 1.12 BPB already captures n-gram patterns far better than any depth-4 Markov model. CTW's KT estimator over 1024 subword tokens is essentially a smoothed 4-gram model — the 11-layer transformer with 2048 context is already a strictly superior n-gram model.
