What It Is
Von Neumann's 1949 middle-square PRNG --- famously degenerates to short cycles. Square the state, extract middle digits. Exhibits visible lattice structure.
Interpretation
Standard analysis sees: anti-persistent; homoskedastic; high-dimensional / space-filling; stationary. The atlas additionally detects combinatorially flat (normal-sequence). It sits beside Windows PE x86-64 in the atlas (standard-bank rank 128) — a neighbor conventional features miss.

What the atlas adds
combinatorially flat (normal-sequence)+2.4z
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 poleAtlas-extreme metrics the standard bank can’t predict for this source
