I agree with Cac, hit below zero for total or composition dependent with Flooring.
This has been discussed here many times; however, I believe truncation is the scientifically correct way to approximate a fraction TC number. The reason is two fold. One, the resulting integer TC numbers will be symmetric about the TC=0 point. This is important especially for balanced counting systems, such as HiLo and Zen. Two, the resulting accuracy will match the abilities of a human being. With truncation, we will have the indices concentrating toward the TC=0 point, and thus fewer indices to remember.

The fact that it is closer to rounding supports nothing at all. The problem with truncation is that TC0 has less resolution and therefore less accuracy. Look at the third chart. Given the rules stated, 42% of counts are one count.
