The merge sequence records the ordered tokens created by repeated pair counting. Each round displays its source segmentation so the counts remain inspectable.

The merge sequence
The sequence diagram shows the source corpus for each round, the pair counts, the chosen merge, and the resulting segmentation. That makes each count derivable from visible rows.
corpus→counts→merge→new corpus
Two deterministic rounds
Round 1 merges (u,g) with count 5. Round 2 merges (h,ug) with count 3.
r1:(u,g),r2:(h,ug)
Summary
BPE's state is the current segmentation plus the ordered merge list. No probabilities or decimals are needed for this toy run.
