Hm. Sorry to have wasted your time. I'd picked up on this bit of the OP

... since A and E are restricted to only two values between them, they must consume those two values;

... and hung my hat on it, but that obviously doesn't apply in the same way to the two examples above.

Question: Would this example also decompose into the (same?) two groups as the above?

my @grid = (
    [ 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, ],
    [ 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, ],
    [ 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, ],
    [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, ],
    [ 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, ],
    [ 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, ],
);

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
