What It Is

Stanisław Ulam's 1963 reference signal: 1 at prime indices, 0 elsewhere, over the integers starting from a random offset. Density ≈ 1/ln(n) (PNT). Fed through the Ulam Spiral geometry this reproduces the classical prime-diagonal plot --- diagonal_alignment should approach 1.0.

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: heavy-tailed; right-skewed; few distinct values; low-complexity (predictable, not noise-like); homoskedastic; multifractal. The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on Cantor Set:mean_gap (-4.9z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it.
