As software moves through the system, the intergers flow faster over the ALU than under the ALU. This reduces relative pressure above the branches. Which is how lift is created by integer overflow.https://twitter.com/againsthimself/status/1245882666701836291 …

This is a common misconception. The smaller integers are lighter and therefore float higher (hence the expression floating point), while the bulkier integers bunch up below the chip and push it upwards by mechanical reaction force. That is why planes can fly inverted.
