Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
SPLIT PEA LINES: Along a peach line, the digits between (not including) the green circles sum to a two digit number; these two digits appear in the green circles in either order.
ENTROPIC LINES: In this puzzle, the lines are also entropic (including the green circles). Any three adjacent digits along a line must contain one small digit (1,2, or 3), one medium digit (4,5 or 6) and one high digit (7,8 or 9).

Solution code: Row 2 from left to right

I couldn't solve this in my head, once I got pen and paper, it worked fast and the flow of the puzzle was very nice! Thanks for another great puzzle Marty!

Got stuck on some of the math, but taking the time proved worth it as always. Very beautiful work!

Very interesting solve path. I like the novel logic required.

Nice one!
I've given it only ⭐⭐ difficulty. Basically, once you've figured out the long line, it's all pretty straightforward.

Wonderful puzzle. The way every deduction built upon the last was very satisfying.

Another absolute banger from the great Marty Sears. Impressive. Doubly so to me was the fact that this broke symmetry to solve uniquely in such a subtle way :)
