15.8 The strongest total-development condition

The strongest candidate for broad mental improvement is therefore not "maximize MRD alone". It is a deliberately combined frontier in which the task demands recursively high Hyperfunction orders, exceeds current deployment/coverage in causally informative ways, stresses important crossfunctions, and - if recursive self-monitoring is also a target - drives high MRD without destroying every later sentinel. This simultaneously supplies Factor 18 with genuine function demand and Factor 19 with localized positive and anti-monitor failures.
