What It Is

Symmetric α-stable (Lévy) noise, α=1.8 --- IID infinite-variance heavy tails with no temporal structure. Antithetic-symmetrized (±-mirrored magnitudes, then shuffled) so in-sample skew, mean, and time-irreversibility are exactly zero. A heavy-tail contrast control: it isolates tail-weight from burst asymmetry, so a 'heavy-tailed and time-irreversible' source pairing can be tested against 'heavy-tailed but time-reversible'.

Interpretation

Standard analysis sees: heavy-tailed; aperiodic / broadband; high-complexity (noise-like). The atlas finds no named structure, but the source is distinctively extreme on SL(2,ℝ) (Thurston):parabolic_fraction (+7.2z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it. It sits beside S&P 500 Returns in the atlas (standard-bank rank 38) — a neighbor conventional features miss.
