atom[ic] representations

After attempting to find how an atom is stored I decided to come to the
 source .
  I attempted to determine the structure through code similar to this:

     atom x,addr
     sequence s,r

     x=1   --   given numerous values , in a loop.
     s={0} R={} addr=0

     s=s+x
     addr=allocate_string(s)
     r=peek({addr,8})
     print(1,r)

   r[1] varied with varing x , as did a few other r[] values ; however
  not to the extent that I'd expect. To avoid getting overly involved
  in an investigation into this ; perhaps someone can illucidate .
