Box breathing

Equal-count inhale, hold-in, exhale, hold-out — the canonical version is 4-4-4-4.

Also known as: Square breathing, Combat breathing

Box breathing supplies a memorable equal-count structure. Auralize may use the CO₂ tolerance assessment to suggest an interval, but that mapping is a product heuristic rather than a clinically validated dose.
