Recursive growth assumption workbench
Does gain clear the next gate?
Compare improvement loops cycle by cycle. The lab spends resources on every affordable upgrade, then shows whether escalating thresholds pull away.
At level L: gain = base gain × gain multiplierᴸ; next gate = base threshold × threshold multiplierᴸ. This is a stylized recurrence, not an AI or civilization forecast.

Recursion is not the whole ratioA gain multiplier must be read against the escalating cost of the next improvement.
