IID Student-t noise, df=3 --- symmetric heavy tails (finite variance, infinite kurtosis), a milder-tailed companion to Stable Noise. Antithetic-symmetrized so in-sample skew, mean, and time-irreversibility are exactly zero. The second heavy-tail contrast control: agreement between two distinct tail laws keeps a downstream verdict from hinging on one mechanism.
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 (+5.8z) — beyond what the standard bank predicts for it.
