Index Fun
The puzzle consists only of the numbers. Only knowledge of English is required. Everything else is provided for convenience. Hints below. A game made for the Confounding Calendar.

0. Hint Zero
Wait, you can't start at zero! Just start at one!
1. Initial Questions
The link from Hint 1 has a few different ways to decode encoded information, but what does it mean that only knowledge of english is required? Which of the encoding techniques must have been used?
2. The Key Question
Each of those numbers is an index... but what is there to index into?
3. A Push
I don't want to spell out the answer to you, but... it might be helpful.
4. My Thoughts On The Concept of Space
I hate space. I would get rid of any bit of space you can.

can i please get a hint on the first one
Hi! Before I give a hint, I want to confirm you’ve seen the hints in the description, including the link that says “click this link.”
I will also add that there is only one level/puzzle.
With that out of the way, what are your thoughts so far? Do you know what the title refers to? How might you do what the title refers to with the information given in the puzzle?
Edit: I had a skill issue.
Is the answer not <rot13> EVIRG </rot13>? The checker does not accept it and when I checked the hints they lined up with my reasoning.
ooh interesting... that isn't right, so I'm curious what your reasoning was...
(I can give a hint, but I'll need to know what you're currently thinking)
Sorry for the confusion. I double checked after getting some sleep and it turned out I <rot13> fvzcyl zvfpbhagrq yznb </rot13>.
can i get a hint :-(
hint:
combine them all
This was very fun to solve!
Very interesting, reminds me of octogram (which i just fully beat)!
Imo hint 4 is a bit obscure though. I don’t think anyone would use that hint since the correct solution perfectly fits (purposely being really vague here)
If anyone needs an extra hint:
It’s self indexing. Maybe try spelling out the numbers as a string of letters?
