The classic 1/n taper — a clean, gentle, academically tidy decay.

The mechanism

Sizes follow the series: 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4… The series diverges, but so slowly that in practice the ladder cost stays modest at any realistic depth. Mechanically identical to plain ; the separate family exists so dashboards and reporting can group it on its own terms.
