I have put together a 243-page report which provides step by step details to decode Kryptos K4 and K5. The report is not infantilized, which simply means that some degree of codebreaking and decryption skill is required to understand the information contained in the report and to apply it. That said, armed with the report, if you have been working on Kryptos for years, or days, it will definitely help you understand in a simple way how the decryptions are made and the architecture of the ciphers as you do it. Start from the beginning and work your way through the report. In many cases, solving the ciphers in order provides new clues to solve the next cipher that you will encounter.
Some of this work requires the use of third-party tools, like a Chutes and Ladders game board, but following the report instructions makes those decryptions easy to understand. The foundation of the Chutes and Ladders gameboard is to use the key PERIASTRON for satellite timing orbits, for example. Later, that key is adjusted in another solution to STRONPERIA which is "Q's" special name and a very important keyword.
The solution for EASTNORTHEAST is found on page 75 (THE ART NOS). That gives the special numeric key to the first layer to solve K5, for example. Each cipher decryption gets progressively more difficult, but with my report in hand, you will conquer all of it with time.
Now, just some key observations that I have made about the Kryptos cipher.
1) There are some Kryptos groups pushing the idea that K4 is only a one for one solution, like a Vigenere Cipher. After performing the work on variable distributions for K4 against all known such cipher mechanics, I did not detect any one for one decryption of K4, but who knows, there may in fact be one. I detected Morse Code cipher architecture and followed that path with success, but it was a difficult challenge. The point here is to be weary of anyone that claims they have special knowledge of how an unsolved cipher is to be decrypted, especially when they have not decrypted it themselves. Someone calling themselves an expert on an unsolved problem doesn't mean they are an expert. Unsolved problems like this can only be solved with real, provable merit. Absent that, you will wind up on a wild goose chase and it will just waste your time. Trust your own instincts and go it alone. I think a lot of people wasted time because of the disinformation surrounding Kryptos online, and that is unfortunate. The cipher could have been solved much faster if people shared information about it and didn't present ideas as so-called expert facts.
2) There was a problem with communications surrounding Kryptos submissions. For example, since Kryptos has multiple layers of solutions, asking for a piece of one layer as the only initial K4 solution is really unfair and unsound. The solution process then became a mechanism of control to protect the cipher from being solved. My observation about this is that if there is no fair channel of communication open to send all the solutions in, it just gives the impression that the public isn't really being invited to solve it because there is no boundary for the public to know when they have completed one of the many cipher solutions at hand that is the correct one to submit. Just food for thought.
I solved the Kryptos ciphers contained in the following .PDF report with pen and paper and then transcribed the solutions into Microsoft Word tables because Word is easy to work with. There may be many more decryptions that I haven't detected yet, so use the report to practice up on the cipher systems used and find them. I am making my report public, free of charge, specifically for that purpose. It is time to completely solve this cipher system once and for all. (IAMQIAMQTOYOU) Lol

It will be available here going forward for anyone to download and enjoy. I don't keep information in a vault like everyone else does. I am a team player.
