Categorical Sensor

What It Is

Random draws from 6 to 12 non-uniform categories. Peaked, unpredictable, low entropy.

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: left-skewed; few distinct values; aperiodic / broadband. The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on Zipf–Mandelbrot (16-bit):zipf_alpha (+3.1z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it. It sits beside Markov Chain (10-state) in the atlas (standard-bank rank 40) — a neighbor conventional features miss.

Composition

Fixed alphabet — only 8 distinct symbols across 16384 samples.
