If average of last 2016 > 50% of the limit, then increase by 6.25% Otherwise, decrease by 6.25% This means that the average would be around 50% of the limit. This gives margin to create larger blocks when blocks are happening slowly. A majority of miners could force the limit upwards by creating spam but full blocks. It could be coupled with a hard limit that grows at whatever is seen as the maximum reasonable. This would be both a maximum and a minimum. All of these schemes add state to the system. If the schedule is predictable, then you can check determine the maximum block size purely from the header and coinbase.
