Identify similar programs

Are there patterns in loda-programs?

This code generates csv files with a rough estimate of what programs are similar to each other. Only the instructions have been considered. The parameters have not been considered.

The algorithm used for clustering similar programs is MinHash or locality sensitive hashing.

In the above csv file, it seems that these are highly similar: A007522, A030431, A039949. There seems to be a pattern here.

A pattern can serve as a template for finding new programs.

Less similar programs

LODA programs that are unique, are also interesting.

It may be the beginning of a new useful pattern, that can be applied over and over.

In the above csv file, the overlap column is less than 20, and the referred programs are somewhat similar, but with differencies.
