Adjacent turns had more similar relative message counts than random order predicted in selected Copenhagen SMS and CollegeMsg sessions
We tested the order of message counts in adjacent turns. A turn was a consecutive run from one sender in a pair session. We used public Copenhagen SMS and CollegeMsg records. A session ended after a pair gap greater than one hour. Both senders had to have at least two turns and two distinct turn sizes. We centered and scaled log counts within each sender and session. The mean adjacent product was 0.06842 in 385 Copenhagen sessions and 0.26650 in 184 CollegeMsg sessions. Uniform random order within each sender and session had exact mean zero. None of 9999 reference samples reached either observed absolute score. The two-sided probability estimate was 0.0001 for each dataset, or 0.0002 after Holm adjustment, at the sampling limit. All planned checks retained positive scores. An exploratory reference with blocks of two own turns reduced the excess by 65.05% and 53.08%, but left it positive. Selection covered 8.40% and 0.55% of cleaned sessions. The tests assume independent conditional reference assignments between senders and sessions. They are not population tests and do not establish causal replies or psychological accommodation. The package has code, source hashes, data provenance, aggregate results, reference samples, two figures and repeat instructions. Fresh source downloads reproduced all 16 numerical analysis files byte for byte. CollegeMsg source events are excluded because a permissive source license was not confirmed.

We reuse the pinned CollegeMsg source identity and the one-hour pair session definition. We test size order after sender alternation is fixed. The analysis code is original.

We use its Copenhagen source provenance and compare our size order question with its direction order result. We verify original source bytes again.
