What It Is

Collatz parity sequence --- binary trace (even/odd) of the 3n+1 orbit, conjectured to behave like a biased coin flip with P(odd) ≈ log₂(3)/(1+log₂(3)). Restarts from consecutive integers on cycle collapse

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: bounded / light-tailed; few distinct values; anti-correlated (alternating); blue spectrum (high-frequency power); homoskedastic. The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on Hyperbolic (Poincaré):temporal_variance (+4.7z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it. It sits beside Symbolic Henon in the atlas (standard-bank rank 29) — a neighbor conventional features miss.
