The serialized nontrivial cycles contain precisely the moved points.
The serialized nontrivial cycles determine the permutation uniquely; points absent from the serialization are fixed.
A number is a multiple of the computed order exactly when it is a multiple of every cycle length, including the omitted singleton cycles.
The lcm calculation recognizes exactly the exponents giving the identity.
No positive exponent smaller than the computed order gives the identity.
