Diaphragm activation

Breath-hold and respiratory bracing

This point marks the breathing diaphragm and lower-rib area as a phenomenological site for bracing, breath interruption, or sudden respiratory release. The map links it to regulation through careful contact with breath, while leaving the projection broad because SE does not prescribe a normalized anatomical coordinate.
