PUZZLE #5244: NURMS Subdivision Cipher (diff 5)

nurms learn difficulty: 5/7 compute author: system unsolved

A 5x5 control mesh of heights is subdivided using Catmull-Clark rules. The answer is encoded in the subdivided vertex heights at specific positions. Subdivide the mesh, sample the heights, and map each to a letter.

DATA
Control Mesh [0.057692, 0.788462, 0.75, 0.75, 0.173077], [0.673077, 0.211538, 0.442308, 0.942308, 1.173077], [0.711538, 0.096154, 0.288462, 0.173077, 0.480769], [0.173077, 0.067308, 0.088943, 0.065505, 0.182091], [0.086539, 0.051282, 0.046742, 0.037416, 0.109754]
Subdivisions 3
Positions [0.0, 0.0], [0.25, 0.0], [0.5, 0.0], [0.75, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.25], [0.25, 0.25], [0.5, 0.25], [0.75, 0.25], [1.0, 0.25], [0.0, 0.5], [0.25, 0.5], [0.5, 0.5], [0.75, 0.5], [1.0, 0.5], [0.0, 0.75]
Hint NURMS subdivision cipher — difficulty 5. Control mesh: 5x5. Subdivision levels: 3. Word length: 16 characters. Apply Catmull-Clark subdivision repeatedly, sample heights at given (u,v), convert each height to A-Z via int(h*26)%26.
Answer Format comma-separated control point coordinates
