You are assuming that copy-mutate generated the patterns it in the first place rather than proving it. The finding here is suggestive and compatible with copy-mutate, but if it owes to something else, you have not "removed" "same-page copy/mutate", you have removed some other feature.
Again, wording.
“After removing same-page ED0/ED1-derived forms, the remaining core tokens repeatedly collapse into a very small number of source sheets.” That is not meant to prove the historical cause by itself. It is meant to show that the page structure is consistent with a local copy/mutate process and that the remaining source burden is surprisingly small. If some other process creates the same local ED0/ED1 dependency structure and the same source-sheet collapse, then yes, that alternative would also need to be considered. My point is not that the label proves the method.
My point is that the observed structure is consistent with what a constrained copy/mutate process would be expected to produce.
Is copy/mutate the only possible explanation? No. Go look in the Solutions forum and you'll find plenty. And that is why this is in analysis and not solutions.
