How far the named copies put each of the symbols from where the
remaining copies put it.
The comparison is between copies and not between two texts, because
a collated symbol is one symbol carrying the features of every copy
that reads it: no second symbol is left to match it against. Which
copies a version was established from is therefore not something the
edition still states once the collation has run, and the caller
names them. sidesOf says which copies attest each side of a
derivation, which is the way to name them rather than by hand.
The copies named are one side of a comparison and the rest are
the other, so the displacement is signed and its sign is the caller's
choice. Naming a set that is not a side yields a well formed
measurement of something else: one copy's own noise against a mixture
of both sides, which is no window any collation used and is wider
than the truth.
A symbol only one side carries measures nothing and is passed over,
which leaves out exactly the insertions and the deletions.
