The Rabbit Approach:2nd attempt After matching up identical characters, here is- Trying to find a sequence using only the position of (cipher textthe characters has yielded no meaningful result. It appears that a value for each character is also being used. I think the cipher uses the position) minus of each character in the clear text (clear text character positionfrom 1 to 123) wrapping from beginningminus its character value to end as necessary. This sequence represents takingdetermine its position in the clearcipher text character "I" at. If the calculated position 117 and shiftingis less than 1, it backwards by 32 charactersis wrapped from the beginning to position 85the end. The "space"
The following character at position 85 is then shifted backwards by 31 characters andvalues are the best that I have found so onfar. Restarting the sequence three timesThis is done to avoid occupied positions.not the final answer but the results are closer than any of my previous efforts

The Turtle Approach: This sequence is also the (cipher text character position) minus When the (clearcipher text character position) but it is orderedcalculated from the clear text position 1 to 123. This sequence represents takingminus the clear text character "Y" at position 1 and shifting it backwards by 12 charactersvalue, the results are as follows (using "+" to position 112. Thenhelp track the "O" character at position 2 is shifted backwards by 23 characters and so on.spaces):
Going fromMy clearcipher text character 1H to 123, shiftA by: -12,-23,-16,-35,-38,-38,-26,-31,-21,-34,-15,-40,-22,-32,-35,-32,-22,-21,-41,-30,-27,-30,-37,-24,-27,-33,-18,-23,-44,-31,-24,-31,-31,-18,-31,-30,-19,-26,-29,-20,-33,-19,-24,-41,-32,-35,-21,-24,-35,-29,-18,-30,-38,-23,-38,-20,-32,-26,-22,-25,-33,-24,-36,-35,-26,-36,-16,-26,-20,-25,-37,-28,-26,-26,-18,-23,-37,-37,-23,-22,-38,-16,-24,-38,-31,-23,-32,-38,-24,-38,-30,-24,-29,-32,-23,-26,-16,-31,-30,-40,-28,-31,-16,-26,-31,-8,-23,-15,-33,-35,-29,-33,-17,-25,-35,-30,-32,-41,-31,-26,-15,-25 + E I T G + X T B + T D S T + R E I + A T + E + O T U A N T + C O S M D N A T E O + D N + N U C E Y + H R N U E S . + I H A E T + C P T + R F + + N E ?

For both approaches, a number of similar sequences are possible, particularly with How three spaces come together in the abundance of E's, T'sOP's cipher text, and spaces. But I have been unable to find a sequenceis one peculiarity that can be described by a simple algorithmI do not understand.
Assuming there is no simple algorithm, I'll keep working on this cipher sequencebut would be created by generating numbers with some degree of randomness and avoiding previously occupied locations. The recipient of the cipher text would also requirehappy if somebody else found the cipher sequence for decodingcorrect solution.
