What It Is

Cumulative sum of the Moebius function --- a random-walk-like sequence whose growth rate is equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis (O(n^(½+ε)) iff RH)

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: left-skewed; smooth / autocorrelated; long-range memory (persistent); strongly periodic; volatility-clustering (bursty); nonstationary / drifting. The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on H3 Icosahedral:temporal_coherence (+3.3z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it.
