Thank you so much, Tigran. I really appreciate your words.

I wanted to reply sooner, but I spent yesterday offline, enjoying time with my 11-year-old son. That was important too.

Your framework genuinely helped me see Rule 110 differently. The idea of self-referential structure made the OR–XOR decomposition click in a much deeper way.

I keep feeling that this conditional symmetry breaking is not separate from your pipeline, but something that might naturally extend it.

Thanks again for the inspiration. It truly means a lot.
