Pointing parodies

I really liked Scojo's setting prompt idea of trying to imitate someone’s setting style, and figured I’d give it an unofficial go as an excuse to make a chaos construction like @shintarofh. Hope you enjoy it!
Chaos construction: Divide the grid into regions, each consisting of orthogonally connected cells, and fill each row, column, and region with the digits 1 to 9 once each.
Other counting arrows: The head of an arrow is the sum of all cells in the indicated direction that are in a different region.
Example: If an arrow in R1C1 was pointing right and was in a region that spanned R1C1-C6, R1C1 would be the sum of R1C7-9

Lösungscode: Columns 1 and 9, with a / indicating region or column borders

Very nice, that it is possible with so few arrows. Although I found the end part and finishing the puzzle very hard

This was fantastic! exactly the way a chaos construction should be, with the region building and digit filling dancing in unison until the very end. Extremely elegant, interesting and beautiful

Oops! Fixed the example arrow

shouldn't the arrow in the example point right?

Thanks for the shoutout! I loved the ruleset, and enjoyed the ways the arrows interacted to simultaneously force numbers and geometry in the first part of the solve. It felt miraculous that the puzzle had a unique solution at the end too!
