(This is one of a series of puzzles using the entropic/modular constraint. If you like it, give the others a try! Guidelines, Hotlines, Triplines, Bowlines)
Place the digits 1 through 9 once into each row, column, and 3x3 box. Digits in cages must add up to the given sum. Digits separated by a white dot must differ by 1 and digits separated by a black dot must be in a 1:2 ratio; not all dots are given.
Each row and each column is either an entropic line or a modular line. On an entropic line, each set of three consecutive digits must contain a low (123), middle (456), and high (789) digit. On a modular line, each set of three consecutive digits must contain one equivalent to 1 mod 3 (147), one equivalent to 2 mod 3 (258), and one divisible by 3 (369).
(Lines of the same type that cross are considered separate lines. E.g. if row 1 and column 1 were both entropic, R1C2 and R2C1 could both be low since they're on separate lines.)

Solving this after Bowlines, this felt easier, but it is hard to judge. Once you know, you know. Great puzzle still, thanks!
