When put onto a graph, the results should roughly show the biodiversity of Sagan 4 as it changed over time:

<graph>{"legends":[],"scales":[{"type":"linear","name":"x","domain":{"data":"chart","field":"x"},"zero":false,"range":"width","nice":true},{"type":"linear","name":"y","domain":{"data":"chart","field":"y"},"zero":true,"range":"height","nice":true},{"domain":{"data":"chart","field":"series"},"type":"ordinal","name":"color","range":["orchid"]}],"version":2,"marks":[{"type":"area","properties":{"hover":{"fill":{"value":"red"}},"update":{"fill":{"scale":"color","field":"series"}},"enter":{"y":{"scale":"y","field":"y"},"interpolate":{"value":"monotone"},"y2":{"scale":"y","value":0},"x":{"scale":"x","field":"x"},"fill":{"scale":"color","field":"series"}}},"from":{"data":"chart"}}],"height":200,"axes":[{"type":"x","title":"Week","scale":"x","format":"d","properties":{"axis":{"strokeWidth":{"value":2},"stroke":{"value":"#54595d"}},"ticks":{"stroke":{"value":"#54595d"}},"title":{"fill":{"value":"#54595d"}},"labels":{"fill":{"value":"#54595d"}}},"grid":false},{"type":"y","title":"Ecosystem Length","scale":"y","format":"d","properties":{"title":{"fill":{"value":"#54595d"}},"grid":{"stroke":{"value":"#54595d"}},"ticks":{"stroke":{"value":"#54595d"}},"axis":{"strokeWidth":{"value":2},"stroke":{"value":"#54595d"}},"labels":{"fill":{"value":"#54595d"}}},"grid":false}],"data":[{"format":{"parse":{"y":"integer","x":"integer"},"type":"json"},"name":"chart","values":[{"y":510,"series":"y1","x":1},{"y":881,"series":"y1","x":2},{"y":1150,"series":"y1","x":3},{"y":2003,"series":"y1","x":4},{"y":3754,"series":"y1","x":5},{"y":4944,"series":"y1","x":6},{"y":8673,"series":"y1","x":7},{"y":11862,"series":"y1","x":8},{"y":13239,"series":"y1","x":9},{"y":19848,"series":"y1","x":10},{"y":26039,"series":"y1","x":11},{"y":27848,"series":"y1","x":12},{"y":29216,"series":"y1","x":13},{"y":33033,"series":"y1","x":14},{"y":24885,"series":"y1","x":15},{"y":34250,"series":"y1","x":16},{"y":44228,"series":"y1","x":17},{"y":95408,"series":"y1","x":18},{"y":98260,"series":"y1","x":19},{"y":96559,"series":"y1","x":20},{"y":79072,"series":"y1","x":21},{"y":38887,"series":"y1","x":22},{"y":72266,"series":"y1","x":23},{"y":75126,"series":"y1","x":24},{"y":92931,"series":"y1","x":25},{"y":102938,"series":"y1","x":26}]}],"width":1000}</graph>

Interestingly, only the gamma ray burst and the ice age / snowball event show up as major dips. Life bounced back from other mass extinctions too quickly for anything noticeable. I hope to make another chart someday that analyzes biodiversity generation-by-generation.
