If sum solves are light magic, then Rate > Instruction is the closest we're getting to black magic. My journey of trying to understand RI theory is akin to reading from a Necronomicon, flipping through the pages and understanding a fraction of the symbols and squiggles, chanting incantations from random pages. Suddenly, from the depths of the abyss emerges this solution.

The entire time I didn't know what I was doing, but somehow it all worked out in the end. I can't help but feel this approach isn't the right way forward, but I'm in too deep already with no time to try anything else.
