What It Is

B(4,4) De Bruijn cycle --- every 4-symbol window over alphabet 0-3 appears exactly once

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: rich, high-entropy values; stationary. The atlas additionally detects combinatorially flat (normal-sequence). It sits beside Gray Code Counter in the atlas (standard-bank rank 52) — a neighbor conventional features miss.

What the atlas adds
combinatorially flat (normal-sequence)+5.2z
every fixed-length block is near-equiprobable and longer context yields no extra predictability — the De Bruijn / normal-number signature (distinct from random noise, which sits mid-scale)
names deterministic flatness — IID noise sits neutral, NOT at this pole
