I’m not a 100% sure i follow but i’ll try to explain. The tiles can only be powers of two. Matching 3 tiles will make the matching tile the next power of two. So 2-2-2 will make 4, 4-4-4 will make 8, 8-8-8 will make 16, etc. If you match more tiles, it will go to higher powers of two. 2-2-2-2 will make 8, 2-2-2-2-2 will make 16. Only one tile per match will be turned into the higher tile. When swapping a tile this will be the swapped tile. When part of a combo, it will be the tile with most matches. If multiple tiles have the same amount of matches it will be the left/top most tile. The other tiles do indeed “evaporate”. I hope this makes some sense, wrote it from my phone.
