What It Is

The C standard library LCG --- used by glibc rand() for decades. Low bits cycle with short period, high bits have lattice structure in dimensions >5

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: rich, high-entropy values; aperiodic / broadband; high-complexity (noise-like); high-dimensional / space-filling. The atlas detects no named structure beyond this.

What the atlas adds

Nothing beyond the standard reading — this source’s structure is already captured by standard features; the atlas adds no named residual.
