We explore a new type of replacement of patterns in permutations, suggested\nby James Propp, that does not preserve the length of permutations. In\nparticular, we focus on replacements between 123 and a pattern of two integer\nelements. We apply these replacements in the classical sense; that is, the\nelements being replaced need not be adjacent in position or value. Given each\nreplacement, the set of all permutations is partitioned into equivalence\nclasses consisting of permutations reachable from one another through a series\nof bi-directional replacements. We break the eighteen replacements of interest\ninto four categories by the structure of their classes and fully characterize\nall of their classes.\n
