Detours by weight

A step is the move from one permutation in the superpermutation to the next permutation in it, and its weight is the number of letters added in that move. A detour starts at a step that differs from the next step of the recursive construction, and ends at the first permutation after that whose next step has weight 1. The weight of a detour is the number of letters added in it. After each detour, we consider the recursive construction to begin again from scratch at the permutation where the detour ends.

How it was found

From the submitter

This word starts from Jakub Halfar's 6,747,801,798-letter word. In fourteen of his blocks I traded rows so that each block frees four trails, and moved those trails to one common insertion point. There the four-trail pieces overlap each other, so the savings from the separate blocks add up. In all, the word is Halfar's with 44 local replacements, 22 letters shorter.
