Pieces

Type	Count	Stickers	Positions	Orientation (physical)	Orientation (visual)

One row per orbit. Orientation counts are per position; multiple values mean positions differ.

Distinct-piece states

≈ 192768 arrangements of the stickers the moves reach (Schreier–Sims)÷ 4 turns of the whole puzzle= 192Tracks individual sticker identities, even on identical-looking pieces; whole-puzzle rotations are identified. Invisible rotations of a piece and internal pieces are not counted.

Visually distinct states

Not computedVisually distinct states = distinct-piece states ÷ reachable indistinguishable arrangements.Reachable indistinguishable arrangements = 1 × reachable fraction.No visually interchangeable sticker-bearing pieces were found.The reachable fraction accounts for restrictions such as permutation parity. Computing the correct fraction and the final visual state count is not yet implemented.

Put together at random

1 in 4 reaches the original sticker identities4!·1⁴ · 2!·2² · 2!·2² · 1!·2¹ = 3,072 ways to put the pieces in: per type of piece, its pieces in any order and each in any orientation that looks different÷ 768 arrangements the moves reach = 4This uses distinct piece identities; the chance of reaching a visually solved state may be higher.
