Connection thesis
VIX at 24.54 (elevated but not crisis), yet futures 'crashing' and stocks 'in red' signals volatility regime shift without volatility *number* catching up. This lag—where realized move exceeds implied vol—typically corrects via either (1) VIX spike or (2) equity recovery bounce. Current data suggests Vol lag closing.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
