This Chaos Construction puzzle was created by Jakhob and wooferzfg.

Rules

Normal Irregular Sudoku rules apply, but the regions must be determined by the solver. All regions are orthogonally connected groups of 9 cells.

Draw a single non-intersecting loop that travels orthogonally through the centers of some cells which passes through each region exactly once.

A digit in a cell with arrows indicates the total number of cells in the same region as that cell that are visited by the loop, in the indicated directions combined, including itself.

Beautiful puzzle ! A very clever placement of clues all the way through the solution path. Building the regions and the loop was very fun ! I like how you used some properties of chaos contruction to constraint the shape of the regions.
Thanks to both of you for this incredible collaborative work. Btw, your interview by purpl was very insightful on the way your partnership works.
