# Crossripening

Development in one area makes development in another newly possible

Layer: Mind · Category: Dynamics

## Mechanism

A change in one capacity or setting supplies something another developmental path lacked, such as a prerequisite, access, support, a distinction or a way of practising, so that the second path gains an opportunity for development it did not have before. The second development need not then occur, and parallel improvement without such a contribution is not an instance.

## Invariants

- The contribution crosses two distinguishable areas of development.
- It changes what development is possible in the receiving area.

## Failure modes

- Coincidence read as enabling: two areas improving at once are taken as one enabling the other.
- Possibility read as certainty: a newly possible development is assumed to happen.
