I've tried several wordings for CW's in-cycle apportionment. I was using an unambiguous wording, but it was long. I shortened it, but introduced ambiguity. But here's a brief but unambiguous wording:
Each cycle's seats are given to its states in such a way that no state in that cycle recieves fewer seats than a state in that cycle that is smaller than it is, and in such a way that, each state in the cycle receives the minimum number of seats consistent with that rule.
