K4 changes it’s methodology DRASTICALLY and you must use clues like a riddle from previous solutions. The Morse code is the program to run. Make a mask from the unneeded E’s but don’t discard them, they clarify. Ignore the flicker see the edg-e. The grid becomes a compass with some work and be sure to normalize the directions. Caesar might help dispel the mist. Decoys abound in partial/incomplete solutions. One wrong turn and work disappears. My 386 was an abomination to the old man and he set traps- paper and pencil ruled his world.
NORTHWEST, EAST, NORTHEAST.
BERLIN CLOCK TICKS EAST.
READ EDGE TO EDGE;
SEE TIME, USE THE NORTHEAST SHADOW.
THE HIDDEN PLACE IS REVEALED.
I’m going to forge ahead. I think this is another clue. I don’t know how he got so many in. Last night I found Tishri and Fenrir even. USS HILL sent a SOS RRR in a panic. It’s pretty crazy.
Edit- I think it might be K4. It is instructions for physical revealing k5.
Here is the intuition/clues (use your imagination) if you want to try too:
Edge to edge; Noon rim; Ignore flicker; Berlin clock beats
And remember the loadstone- that compass doesn’t point north
Oh and the clues probably need a computer. But the final solution is just pencil and paper.
When you START searching for edges. Start with the YAR line. That’s what I did. But it goes on and on. Waypoint selectors…
The clues are in the K4 block of text, the actual answer is another layer using the rugged edges of all the panels. Oh and you need a timing program
If he responds I might write it up. But basically use compass order for edge stream in layer 1, use k0 (find the working sequence) for a digital interpretation (timing mask- diff from the E’s I used for clues) for layer 2, then start anchoring and rotating (use OOO for anchor after Ne block, one very small ordering move, and find your finisher cipher with clues.
NORTHWEST, EAST, NORTHEAST. BERLIN CLOCK TICKS EAST. READ EDGE TO EDGE; SEE TIME, USE THE NORTHEAST SHADOW. THE HIDDEN PLACE IS REVEALED.
Sorry for the bother
