Each row compares this channel with every other ranked channel over the same lookback. Shorter windows show what the channel is doing now but are noisier; longer windows show its usual pattern and expose long rotations. Rank is among all ranked channels, #1 being the most repetitive. Differences under about 10 points are within normal noise.
