Each element of BinaryWord at a size, and its image, applied in your browser; sizes past 6 are not offered.

Properties

Transport a statistic

Pick a statistic on BinaryWord. Its distribution over the images of BinaryWord at each size is computed, and compared with the 59 statistics on BinaryWord: those that share it are the ones the map sends it to, as far as the sizes computed show.

Matched by value: our map agrees with FindStat's image on each of the 126 rows of size at most 6 we can read (0 unread; its table has 1200 rows).

Sends a binary word w1⋯wmw_1\cdots w_m to the binary word v1⋯vmv_1 \cdots v_m with vi=wiv_i = w_i if ii is odd and vi=1−wiv_i = 1 - w_i if ii is even.
