When designing sequential machines, it's often a good idea to
list output codes against the original sequence. For example:
+a:b:c+A:B:C+
13 13

I do not understand what rule you are implying here.
For example, why would the result not be 1, 3 or 0 '+'

These output codes might work here:
+:+:+
1313

Likewise:
+123:+456:+
13 13

I don't know -- I don't understand what you want.
