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.
