Chaos Construction: Each row, column, and region contains the digits 1–9 exactly once each. A region is an orthogonally connected collection of cells, and regions are to be determined.
Region Rules: The number in the top left cell of a region specifies how many regions that cell is adjacent to orthogonally and diagonally (including itself).
Quadruples: Digits in a large circle must appear in at least one of the four cells surrounding the circle. Quadruple circles must touch four different regions.
White Kropki: Digits joined by a white dot are consecutive. Cells joined by a white dot are in DIFFERENT regions. Not all dots are necessarily given.
Black Kropki: Digits joined by a black dot are in the ratio 1:2. Cells joined by a black dot are in the SAME region. Not all dots are necessarily given.
An example 6x6 solution is provided below.

I took a look at this when it was first posted, had it open in a tab and was totally baffled. Imagine my surprise when I came back to this page to ask how this could possibly solve - only to see the new rule :) I'm glad I came back, because this was a great puzzle!

Definitely a 4+ puzzle. Very nice!
I didn't see the updated rule first and was very worried why I couldn't find a way to start
