# Breath

Compress. Expand as parallel division of work. Compress.

Per cycle the occupied region moves by **G/C**. Breathes when G < C. Spirals when G > C.

SEED0 C = 4.49×. DISTRO C = 44.20×. SEED0 at G=2 settles: 1302 → 579 → 258 → 115 → 51 → 23. At G=8 it exceeds 8,192 on cycle one. Cite CAIRN-07. Do not remint. Do not sweep G.

This is `SIZE_MUST_MOVE.md` without a host packer: size moves because it compresses between expansions. It settles NEED_BRYCE in `EXPANDING_SEED.md` — no mouth gets named.
