 After basics.
 
 (1=4)r3c1-(4=6)r8c1-(6=8)r8c5-r9c4=(8-5)r4c4=(5-1)r4c1=1r3c1
 
 Making r3c1 4 creates a contradiction loop that shows that the start cell r3c1 < > 4 ie must be 1.
 
 r3c1 < > 4 leads to a bit more basics (19 pair) then stte.

				| r6c456 <> 1 as this would create a <468> quad in row 4 
 Easier to see than explain, but here goes:
 
 if r6c4=1, then r1c4=5, so r4 has [68 468 468 46]
 
 if r6c56=1, then <69> pair gives r6c4=3, <15> in r13c4 and again r4 has [68 468 468 46]
 
 fairly simple stuff to the end

				| The “quad” being an impossibility because only three discrete numbers exist in four squares. |  |

				| My explanation clearly wasn't complete, so.... 
 It's impossible
 For a quad to hold just three
 It's just impossible

				| Can this triple keep from rushing to be four ? It's just impossible
 If I had three could I ever want for more?
 It's just impossible
