Ascending From Chaos

• Chaos Construction: Divide the grid into seven orthogonally connected seven-cell regions, and place the digits 1-7 once in each row, column, and region.

• Ascending Starters: A clue outside the grid gives the sum of all continuously adjacent increasing digits up to (and not including) the first digit that decreases in that row or column from the direction of the clue.

Moreover, for each clue the digits contributing to its sum must belong to the same region and the first decreasing digit must belong to a different region.
