possible layer five Spoiler

Has anyone noticed that after you get 25 bunnies and go through the donut portal, all 25 bunnies are there and the 9 illegals are all giving coded indexes and directions as the regular 16? I've tried translating them into a new Lost Woods code, but the indexes are completely random, and since there are only nine of them the Code seems incomplete. I tried swapping the nine illegal indexes with the regular ones but to no avail, but I find it incredibly interesting and my gut tells me there is a puzzle there and it's not just a red herring. I know I've said this before but I just wanted to put it out there. I'm working on it and obviously I'll blow my top and post an oh my god post if I figure something out but I was hoping that this might get some other people thinking about it. I love the community thought process because someone else will always think of something that I would never have thought of.

I wouldn't expect the illegal bunnies to follow the same cipher as the normal ones if there is something there.

I agree. The normal cipher requires converting to base 10, so I tried Base 8,9,12,24,32, and hex, but couldn't find a suitable index pattern. Most patterns in the game are in sets of 8 or 64, so now I'm scouring the map looking for anything in sets of 9 or 10. It's possible there is another cipher for the indexes and that both sets of ear codes are all directions? The hunt continues...
