"""The document prior grows SUBLINEARLY with a document's unit count. `document_scores` returned `total / n` -- a density. The correction it was written for is real and holds: a SUM over units grows with the number of units, so it measures size. But a density is `n**0`, and it is diluted by every unit that carries none of the question, so a document split from 1 concept into 12 has its prior divided by 12. That is exactly where the segmentation side and the retrieval side were fighting over one number: a round that cut documents finer paid for it in rank. `n**0.5` is the classical length normalisation between the two, and the exponent is a CONSTANT swept end to end rather than a preference. Measured as the gold document's rank under the prior over 6 questions x 3 bundles: `n**0.5` is at least as good as the delivered `n**1.0` on all 18 rows and strictly better on three, including the one that blocked the default move. HONESTY LIMIT: chosen among five exponents on 18 rows, one rater, one gold set. Measured in `docs/2026-09-09-k3-runde6-outline-gaten-og-prioren.md`.
