Normal Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1 through 9 in each empty cell. Digits must not repeat within the same row, column, or box.
XV: digits separated by an X sum to 10, digits separated by a V sum to 5;
Enteropic Lines: any run of 3 digits along an entropic line contain a low (123), middle (456), and a high (789) number.
Solution code: Digits in row 7, left to right

Wow, what a mesmerizing puzzle! At first glance, I was stumped how so little clues can lead to a unique solution, but then it unfolded and became quite a smooth and pleasureable solve!

Excellent puzzle! It seems bare and with so little informations... but instead it's a succession of beautiful logic and great discoveries, a real beauty!

Thank you for this very nice puzzle, mormagli! I think the difficulty of 3 stars is accurate. But be that as it may, I had great fun figuring out the clues (especially the entropy lines). Thank you for setting and sharing this enjoyable challenge!

More of a two star puzzle I think
---m- I'd be happy if that was the consensus but initial testing suggested it was a little harder than that.
