Reduce total # of select bits from 44 to 4

The board is divided into 16 regions. We select the region to be updated
by updating 4 boolean parameters. We *used* to define 4 parameters per
layer. Now we just have 4 params total, which affect every layer.

Total param memory: 142 bits -> 102 bits
Params updated per region update: 56 -> 16
