Collatz stopping times --- how many steps each integer takes to reach 1. Wildly erratic, with typical values around 3.5·log₂(n) but enormous outliers
Standard analysis sees: no strongly notable standard properties. The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on Spirograph:gear_rationality (-3.3z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it. It sits beside Surface Wind (ORD 5-min) in the atlas (standard-bank rank 55) — a neighbor conventional features miss.
Spirograph:gear_rationality | -3.3z | bank-miss 1.1σ |
Persistent Homology:n_significant_features | +2.4z | bank-miss 1.7σ |
