1. CHAOS CONSTRUCTION: Divide the grid into orthogonally connected regions such that each row, column and region contains the digits 1-9 once each.
2. INTERNAL X-SUMS: A digit in a circle counts the number of cells it sees of its own region in its row and column combined, including itself. Region borders block vision. A number in the top-left corner gives the sum of all 'seen' digits.

Lovely puzzle..Not simple for me, because I struggle with the triangle numbers. But that's a me issue. Fun logic especially near each corners of the puzzle.

Zibl: Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! It's probably a high 3 or low 4. I can see both arguments. :)

This was really fun, I found the logic for separating the clues really smooth, though I did completely mess up the possible path of one which added a lot of time in which I found a lot of interesting logic, albeit derived from the earlier error :D
Cheers!
