Signatures are the population counts for the oscillator, sequenced so that the lowest numbers appear to the left. The first signature number has three digits to facilitate sorting when a table includes larger oscillators. Signature numbers are used to break ties in oscillators of nearly the same size.

gollark: UTF-32 fairly suboptimal?
gollark: Strings which are good have an invariant for UTF-8.
gollark: This allows O(something) random access.
gollark: It really is.
gollark: Each node has a pointer to the previous/next one, and a random other location in the list.
