On the Subject of the Gridlock CM

A machine that knows no bounds when it comes to ciphers.

Create a key using the keyword on screen 1 and the Boolean Expression on screen A. Make sure to replace any Js with Is. Rearrange the key into a 5×5 matrix. This will be referred to as the Gridlock Key.

Take the digit string from screen 2 and place a cursor at the 1st digit.

For each letter of the encrypted word, do the following:

• 1: Start at the space that contains the Nth letter of the encrypted word in the Gridlock Key.
• 2: Repeat steps 3 - 6 until you reach a gridlock.
• 3: Mark the space that you're currently at.
• 4: Add the digits in the digit string at the cursor and to the right of the cursor, modulo 10. Append this digit to the digit string.
• 5: Take the digit at the cursor and turn it into an instruction via the Instruction Table. Move the cursor to the right 1 digit.
• 6: If the instruction tells you that you're in a gridlock, the current letter that you're on becomes your Nth decrypted letter.
• 7: Reset the Gridlock Key so that all the spaces become unmarked.

Finally, if any of the letters on screen 3 match at the same position as any of the letters of your decrypted word, replace that letter with a J. You should now have a decrypted word.

0	1	2	3	4
Move N, wrapping around, until you reach an unmarked space. If you can't, then it's a gridlock.	Move NE, wrapping around, until you reach an unmarked space. If you can't, then it's a gridlock.	Move E, wrapping around, until you reach an unmarked space. If you can't, then it's a gridlock.	Move SE, wrapping around, until you reach an unmarked space. If you can't, then it's a gridlock.	Move S, wrapping around, until you reach an unmarked space. If you can't, then it's a gridlock.
5	6	7	8	9
Move SW, wrapping around, until you reach an unmarked space. If you can't, then it's a gridlock.	Move W, wrapping around, until you reach an unmarked space. If you can't, then it's a gridlock.	Move NW, wrapping around, until you reach an unmarked space. If you can't, then it's a gridlock.	If all the spaces orthogonally adjacent, wrapping around, are marked, then it's a gridlock. Otherwise, mark all of those spaces.	If all the spaces diagonally adjacent, wrapping around, are marked, then it's a gridlock. Otherwise, mark all of those spaces.
