Why, I'm classifying codimension two hyperplane arrangements in C2. What else would I be doing?

Basically, I need to create all of the permutations of 1 to n, then for each one, apply a set of three rules which will give me a list of different permutations which shall be deemed "equivalent" to the current one. I give each of these a common tag and then move on.

I do perform quite a few lookups to determine whether I have already applied the set of rules to a particular permutation through one of its equivalent representations. This is important since each of the rules can give me many equivalent permutations.

At the end I perform one final clean up since sets of equivalent permutations may have been labeled with different tags. I make note of these occurrances during the first pass through though, so the final cleanup is trivial.

Thanks for asking! (but I bet you're sorry you did)

Update: Sorry, we're in C2 not C4

If we didn't reinvent the wheel, we wouldn't have rollerblades.
