How to solve Transposition in The Talos Principle 2

Transposition is one of the smaller puzzle rooms in The Talos Principle 2. Its solution is pretty simple and straightforward. To solve it, you need to work creatively with tools such as Drillers, Jammers, Connectors, and Inverters.

To start this puzzle, get the Inverter in front of your spawn area and place it against the wall with the metal bars and gaps. Connect it to the blue light source to your right.

Then, use the Jammer to get through the barrier. This gives you access to the room containing the Connector. Pick up the Connector and link it to the Inverter and the red receptacle with the Driller. At this point, you should see both blue and red light beams.

Now that you've got your hands on the Driller, drill a hole through the worn-out wall near the entrance for a clear view to the other side.

Swap the Inverter and Connector positions by reaching through the Driller hole. Link the Connector to the blue light source and its blue receptacle. Meanwhile, have the Inverter link up with the Connector and the red receptacle.

Take the Jammer and lower the barrier across the wall with metal bars. This links the Connectors to the receptacles and gives you access to the Progress Wheel on your left. Access the Progress Wheel to exit from the puzzle room.
