That is exactly what you are doing.

I still don't understand how this is a violation of any of the rules.
You said it yourself. You're using long sequences of numbers. You're using changes in signal states to encode larger messages. Your signals are "1", "2", "3", and "4". Your messages are "2 4 1", "1 3 4", etc. I see no way for you to legitimately claim that you're not sending a message encoded by multiple signals. The fact that you only define four of the possible 256 four-character messages doesn't alter the fact that you're using messages created by changes in signal states.

(Morse code actually uses a set of either three or four symbols, not two "digits", but that's beside the point.)
