Equality Cages 139: Equally dead and alive by gUBBLOR https://link.sudoku-sleuth.com/EqualityCages139

Rules:

"Normal" Schrödinger rules apply. Place the digits 0-9 once each in every row, column, and box. To fit all digits, each row, column and box must have one Schrödinger cell, which contains 2 of the digits. The value of a Schrödinger cell is the sum of digits.

Equality cages: Cages must have an equal number of low (1,2,3,4) and high (6,7,8,9) VALUES and an equal number of even (2,4,6,8) and odd (1,3,7,9) VALUES. Equality cages can never contain the VALUES 0 or 5, but the digits 0 and 5 are allowed. Neither digits nor values may not repeat in a cage.

Kropki dots: A black dot between cells indicates cell VALUES with a 2:1 ratio. A white dot between cells indicates cells with consecutive VALUES. Not all dots are shown.

XV: Adjacent cells connected with an X must have VALUES that sum to 10. Adjacent cells connected with a V must have VALUES that sum to 5. Not all X's or V's are shown.
