The following representations, first introduced in the "Hidden Logic of Sudoku" (HLS, 2007),
may be used e.g. to more easily spot:
rn-, cn- or bn- bivalue pairs (also named bilocal pairs),
mono-typed-chains (the 2D-chains of HLS),
Hidden Subsets and Fishes (which will appear as Naked Subsets in the proper space).
rn-view:
Physical rows are rows, physical columns are digits. Data are columns.
