Intentionally posting to force a third page, since then I won't see the answer.
I'll be getting this after the fact, but I've looked for a half-hour, hoping I could squeeze in before the reveal. Even with the nudges, my head's still spinning, so I'll have to revisit this one a bit later!
(I hope I don't bill-fold.)

Nope… even with the nudges I never saw it! But seeing the solution I have to say that was very clever! Bravo!

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges IF ASKED; metas should be about fun, not frustration. PM me what you have done so far, because often you are closer than you think, and I will try to help you move along.

I think it wasn't so much that this puzzle was too difficult, but somehow I had completely the wrong idea about it, not sure if that was all me or if it was a bit unclear. From the directions I thought that the answer would be intuited rather than spelled out, and also I missed that the answer should be 8 letters. So I submitted a couple of wrong guesses that came from the right idea, without having found the entire mechanism or even realizing that there was more to it than I had found. I eventually read the nudges and realized where I went wrong. Thanks @DrTom, it was a good puzzle! I just wasn't on the right wavelength, it happens.

Wow, guess who must still be jet lagged! I realize that I posted the reveal on MONDAY not TUESDAY. what a dolt. Hopefully i did not spoil anyone's last minute rush to the finish line. I'm going to chalk it up to still having my clock some 6 hours off. That takes care of at least a quarter of my prematurity.
Obviously I must have been reading this book:

Took a peak at the first line of the graphic and that got me what I needed, haha. BILL MURRAY seems obvious in retrospect, but I just couldn't see it. And that was going to be my guess anyway, but I'm glad to have found what I needed to!!
You can bill me for this one - just put it on my diet soda.

Thanks for the puzzle!
