What It Is

p(n) mod 5, the number of integer partitions of n reduced modulo 5. Captures the first Ramanujan congruence p(5k+4) ≡ 0 (mod 5) (Ramanujan 1919, proved Watson 1938) as a stationary integer stream over {0,1,2,3,4}: every 5th position is deterministically zero, the other four positions look pseudo-random in {0,1,2,3,4}. Computed via Euler's pentagonal number theorem with arithmetic carried in Z/5, so the exponential growth of p(n) (Hardy-Ramanujan: p(n) ~ exp(pi sqrt(2n/3))) never appears directly --- the source carries the algebraic-periodicity content rather than the smooth envelope. Raw log p(n) emission was retired 2026-05-18: it was monotone-increasing and collapsed to the same rank sequence as Primes / Minkowski ?(x) in every rank-based geometry.

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: bounded / light-tailed; homoskedastic. The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on Cantor Set:mean_gap (-4.8z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it.
