Points were cut off due to the lack of a tag for the X axis.
Anyway, this is an interesting piece to analyse. First of all, the lack of a line for Twilight makes me reach the obvious conclusion that she's the one making the graph, but then I see Applejack doesn't have a line either, which in turn makes me think Twilight is making this for Applejack, in an unorthodox attempt to solve a friendship problem of sort.
As mentioned before, the lack of a tag for the X axis makes it hard for me to figure out what that problem is, or why the friendship curves behave the way they do the longer they go.
Still, I got more out of this than I imagined I would, nice work.

That lack of X-axis labeling is gonna haunt me. The interpretation of the piece can go so many ways without it.
For example:
Weight (ounces) — I can only assume that a) Twilight generated these graphs by continuously feeding them ice cream, and b) Rarity had been having a really bad day.
Kilometers per hour — While at first glance Rainbow Dash's line makes no sense, it's actually somewhat profound: as her speed increases, everything becomes more and more about her, and her friendship capacity suffers accordingly. For the others, the graph just shows speed tolerance, and apparently Rarity is an ex-fighter pilot.
Number of seconds on-screen in an episode — Make sure not to introduce all of your friends at the beginning, or you're gonna have to carry that friendship problem solo by the halfway mark! (Also, the lack of Applejack starts to make sense.)
Number of seconds into a sexual act — The first evidence for "Rarity is best pony" with which I cannot find fault.
Micrograms of LSD consumed — No wonder Rarity's the creative one.
Years — (Buy some apples), that got morbid.
Personally, though, I choose to believe that the X axis is degrees Kelvin, implying (based on melting points) that Rainbow Dash is primarily made from lead; Fluttershy from zinc; Rarity from aluminum; and Pinkie Pie from plutonium.

What, Twilight and Applejack aren't good enough for you?
All the snark aside, I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. I guess I'll say it anyway. The lack of X-axis is fairly annoying, but that means I get to choose what it means!
And I choose... premeditation. You see, Rainbow does everything meaningful spur of the moment, Applejack doesn't do anything as often and is still pretty improv, Pinkie Pie does a lot of forethought and something really meaningful, and Rarity does all the planning and it turns out the best.

Artist, I see you’re doing something creative here, so props for that. Your deeper meaning escapes me. Is this the graph of one episode, or multiple seasons?

A grim reference, perhaps?

I'm going to guess the X axis was meant to be terahertz , possibly reflecting which colors (or perhaps which other ponies) each pony likes .

That ... is plausible with the numbers, but if so, I'm really not sure where the artist was trying to go with it. The Rainbow Dash line peaks at red, Fluttershy at orange, Pinkie Pie at cyan-green, and Rarity blue. It's clearly not their own colors, nor complementary colors, and if you try to go somewhere like "shipping" with it then you get some weird pairings (e.g. Pinkie Pie in love with ... Minuette I guess?)
So, yeah, still trying to make heads or tails of this. Really hoping for an explanation from the artist after voting ends.

I realized that I had the perfect data to work colors with, and so I had to.

I mean, that was my second choice, but it seemed to come out making slightly spectral sense in wavelengths than in frequencies, and neither was clear, so…
So was there a coherent plot to this beyond “friendship is silver nanoparticles”, or… ?
