The copies are collated all at once (collateCopies), and every
reading becomes a character that each copy has, lacks or cannot speak
to (presenceIn). Every stemma of the copies that the systems admit,
up to seven copies, is scored by what it has to let arise and be lost
(Costs), and the least costly is taken, ties going to fewer lost
states. On it, each reading arises in the latest version all copies
carrying it descend from, and is deleted where a branch lacks it. A
reading only the less refined side of the root carries is taken for
the base text where the other side has it moved or cleaned up.
Where the edition has versions already, a version of the proposal
that a copy carries at first hand stands for the version that copy
carries in the edition, and a lost one for the version inserting most
of the same readings. An edit the editor wrote on such a version, one
a collation would not have written, holds the version to what it
inserts and deletes, unless the copies cannot be read so.
