Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Digits increase along a thermometer starting from the bulb end. For each box B, a digit D in position P indexes to a new box P, in position D with value B. Positions are numbered from left to right and top to bottom. For example if r3c4 is 9 this means B=2, P=7 and D=9, this indexes box 7, position 9 with the value 2 meaning r9c3 has value 2.
Solution code: Row 1 followed by row 9.

beautifully minimalist puzzle, with some cool global deductions to be discovered that will help a LOT. The biggest challenge is getting your head around the indexing

The ruleset is tricky to wrap your head around, but crazy that it works!

Beautiful discovery Dori. The fact that this puzzle is solvable, let alone with such an elegant path, is so cool!

Did anybody see the absolute perfect symmetry of the result? I would like to write more, but that would be too much of help...

Not hard, just hard to keep the indexing straight.
