In statistics, dispersion, also called variability, scatter or spread, is the extent to which a distribution of data is stretched or squeezed. Common measures of dispersion include variance, standard deviation and interquartile range: a distribution with large variance has values spread widely, while one with small variance has values clustered closely together. Dispersion is generally treated as a counterpart to location, or central tendency, and the two together are the properties most often used to describe a statistical distribution.

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
