My OperaK4 Discovery Preview (will be revealed at a later date)

I found something a few days ago that may be the first true step toward decoding K4. But as with everything new, there is a very good chance that nothing will come of it. I will say that this is different to anything I've found so far. And it's in plain view. It's been sitting there all this time and no one noticed.
Having said that, I will say that if my theory pans out, then it'll be obvious why it hasn't been solved. This doesn't change the fact that something has been staring at us all this time.
I don't know all the steps. In fact, I don't know any of the steps except for one, and it's incomplete. This is why I'm hesitant to even talk about it. But what I did find is too significant (at least to me) to toss it aside.
What I can say is that it explains a LOT of the details of the sculpture. And it does so in very simple terms. The problem I have now is that it looks like K4 has been super-encoded. Or at least uses two processes. I'm also doubtful that K4 is the ciphertext. I can't be sure. The actual theory on the cipher is speculative, but it does narrow the field quite considerably.
What I found is a repeated pattern within K4. Not just one, but many of significant length. The clues that led me here seem to be pointing in a certain direction. Without knowing what the next step is, I would have to dismiss it if we agree that the result has to have 100 characters. The next step may yield 100 characters. I don't know. There are other ciphers that would also give 100 characters on the initial cipher. So I need to keep researching what I've found for the time being.
