We resolve a long-standing puzzle concerning anomalous spectral fringes observed in coherent XUV radiation from the Burst Intensification by Singularity Emitting Radiation (BISER) mechanism [PRL 108, 135004 (2012); Scientific Reports 7, 17968 (2017); J. Plasma and Fusion Research (accepted)]. We demonstrate that these fringes arise from alloharmonics, i.e. spectral interference of different harmonic orders in nonperiodic processes [arXiv:2306.01018 (2024); arXiv:2506.23548 (2025)]. This fundamental insight, validated by matched experimental data and analytical theory and data statistics, allows precise parameter extraction from the data. Alloharmonics is a general physical principle extending beyond BISER, explaining and predicting phenomena in fields as diverse as relativistic laser plasma, pulsar radio waves, and gravitational waves from blackhole mergers.
