Generation zero is hatched by fees. Every later generation is hatched by a parent that closed a cycle with profit. This is how many exist at each depth and what they hold.

Each box is one tradeling at its birth cap. A line runs from every child to the parent whose profit hatched it.
A cycle closes when a tradeling has lifted its entire bag and its bank is above the bank it was hatched with. The difference is realized profit.
If realized profit is at or above the hatch minimum, the tradeling breeds. A child is hatched from that profit, stamped with the live cap at that instant, and given the parent's index as its parent. The parent's bank resets to its bank at birth and all six of its rungs re arm.
If realized profit is under the hatch minimum, it is added to the parent's bank and the rungs re arm. No child.
