this is just UMAP on some arbitrary set of financial metrics. outside of looking cool, there are _a lot_ of limitations with trying to interpret this kind of output. what it does is move points with a similar cosine distance close to each other (in an stochastic globally-on-average sort of way). a lot of the clusters and other formations are artifacts of the graph layout method moreso than anything else. this has been extensively studied
