The useful part
Beneath the Vesper Archive stands a sealed door covered with geometric glyphs. All they left behind was Codex Obscura, a book of earlier patterns marked Valid or Invalid. Your task is to reconstruct the six hidden rules that determine those verdicts.
How it works
- The last researcher assigned to it found a way through and never returned.
- VALID — the specimen follows all hidden rules introduced so far.
- Start with Folio I and work through the folios in order.
- Each new folio introduces one additional hidden rule, while the rules you have already discovered continue to apply.
- Compare the Valid and Invalid specimens, form hypotheses, and revise them whenever an example does not fit.

Details worth keeping
The shapes are called glyphs, and a small dot marks an empty cell. INVALID — the specimen breaks at least one of them. You do not need to add, remove, or move any glyphs.
