Fun Puzzle with a hilarious region layout, and nice solving path 🙂
6:33 A very clever construction! I got tricked into entering a bunch of identical notation into twin galaxies and then missing (for some time) the first asymmetric implication across the center boundary. Once I got going with that, it all fell into place very nicely.
Thanks, Bryce!

I realized the new puzzles don’t show up in the star battle archive. A bug?
Thanks for the puzzles lovely people 🙂
