# Futurestretch

Practise on tasks just beyond what can be done alone, with support that is withdrawn as skill grows

Layer: Mind · Category: Strategy

## Mechanism

Practice uses a [Task](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Task.md) the learner completes with support but not yet alone. Success is recorded both with support and without it, and when unsupported success passes a stated threshold, the support is withdrawn and harder tasks are chosen.

## Invariants

- Each practice task is one the learner completes with support but not yet alone.
- Success is recorded both with support and without it.
- When unsupported success passes the threshold, support is withdrawn and the task is made harder.

## Failure modes

- Comfort practice: tasks stay within what is already mastered.
- Overreach: tasks stay so far beyond reach that support carries all the work.
