a fullish endeavor

Inspired by ThePedallingPianist's Full Folding Frenzy.
- Normal 6x6 Sudoku rules apply on each grid.
- Anti-quad: The four cells on the same position on the four grids should have four distinct values.
- Full Rank:
- The columns and rows of all grids together, read in both directions, make a total of 96 six-digit numbers.
- Red clues show the rank among those 96 numbers for the indicated column or row in the direction of the clue.
- Blue clues indicate the difference of the ranks of both rows or columns in the adjacent grids and on the direction of the clue.
- If two or more numbers are tied, their rank is the lowest of them. (For example, if the lowest four numbers are "123465", "132654", "132654" and "153264", their corresponding ranks are 1, 2, 2 and 4 respectively.)

too many people felt entitled to a shorter code, idk.

Nice puzzle, at first I felt there were not enough clues but later on the puzzle suddenly collapsed through Sudoku and disjoint/antiquad and I felt I didn't use nearly all the clues. Determining the solution code proved to be one of the hardest steps. Maybe I will try your other full rank puzzle later. Thank you!

updated code by TheBookWyrm's recommendation
