Normal Sudoku rules apply.
Normal Kropki and VX rules apply.
(Black kropki dots indicate a ratio of 1:2, white dots mark consecutive digits. cells marked with a V sum to 5, those marked with an X sum to 10)
Hidden in the grid is a set of the digits 1-9, one digit in every box. For that set, the negative constraint of the above mentioned rules apply (if there is no X, the cells mustn't sum to 10, etc.). All given hints center around those cells.
Solution code: Column 9 and row 6, no spaces

weird, but nice.
the last rule may be initially confusing, but the set (it is a set) forces itself to emerge easily enough.

Had to go through the rules a few times till I caught that last sentence. Then it all went smoothly (the order in which the set unfolds is lovely!). Thank you for this neat puzzle!
