c Corridor
Definition
c is the horizontal corridor of the LMR hourglass grammar.
Within Tier 1, c is read as a structural corridor relation, not as ordinary transport speed or dynamical propagation.
c governs fixed horizontal relation in the hourglass diagram.
Tier Placement
Primary tier: Tier 1
Role: Corridor relation
The c corridor belongs to the foundational hourglass grammar established in Paper I and extended through Arc 1.

Authority level: Foundational
Paper I establishes the hourglass grammar in which c functions as a fixed corridor relation.
Function in LMR
The c corridor functions as a structural relation between hourglass positions.
It supports:
- horizontal hourglass routing
- M′–f relation
- t–λ relation
- middle-layer organization
- later projection and normalization placement
- distinction between structural corridor and physical speed
c provides the baseline relation around which later corridor structures are organized.
Allowed Use
c may be used as a Tier 1 hourglass corridor.
It may also be used in Tier 3 correspondence contexts when explicitly declared.
Prohibited Misuse
c must not be treated in Tier 1 as:
- physical motion
- ordinary velocity
- propagation through space
- causal transmission
- signal speed
- a dynamical mechanism
- evidence that the hourglass depicts motion
In Tier 1, c is a corridor relation.
