If you find the logical path through this puzzle, I promise a journey full of wonderful discoveries.
But be warned. It is very easy to get lost in this grid.

Rules:
Sudoku: Fill every row, column and 3x3 box with the digits 1-9.
Thermometer: Digits along a thermometer have to strictly increase from the bulb to the tip.
Entropy: The low digits (1, 2, 3), middle digits (4, 5, 6) and high digits (7, 8, 9) are defined as three different groups. In the finished grid each 2x2 box has to contain at least one digit of each group.
Have fun solving!
Solution code: Row 1 followed by column 9 (18 digits)

I really enjoy these entropy puzzles! This one felt a bit more bifurcatory than normal... Sometimes chains of reasoning are long and complex, and even tho commonalities can arise reasonably early in two competing conjectures, it can be hard to pick them out.
