Explorer B assignment

Read completely kb/work/open-ended-work-economics/curiosity-exploration/README.md, kb/work/open-ended-work-economics/bootstrap-exploration/second-exploration-brief.md, kb/work/open-ended-work-economics/README.md, AGENTS.md and kb/work/COLLECTION.md. These bind purpose, scope, evidence, coordination, acceptance and stop conditions. No code, experiments, implementation, commits, extraction, deletion or library/index edits. No new source destination allocated; return ungrounded literature leads as leads, not source-backed conclusions. Existing grounded Quotes may support claims; source analysis is not support. Only A turn 1 had source mutation ownership. Choose methods and research judgments within scope; escalate purpose/authority changes, return partial on missing evidence/tools. Validate owned result. Distinguish source claims, documentary observations, conjectures and demonstrations; preserve strongest rival, discriminating evidence, recoverability needs and reason for parked alternatives. Keep learning value distinct from task benefit; do not force compression scores, text shortening or service-first admission. Fresh Explorer B turn 5. Read four prior integrations, costs-before-turn-05.md and current coordination; inspect actual role outputs/coordination where evaluating procedure. Do not read current A. Own only kb/work/open-ended-work-economics/curiosity-exploration/turn-05/explorer-b.md. Independently make strongest case against continuing or adopting compression-driven steering: what adds beyond ordinary explanation-seeking, what remains missing about unfamiliar opportunities, literature, acquisition, causal attribution and resources? Evaluate actual contribution of fresh roles/critique and costs without inferring necessity or superiority. Distinguish critique from service-first veto; intrinsic learning can matter. Give reasoned stop/another-trial disposition, strongest positive rival, and a discriminating decision if available. No new source mutations, experiments or framework. 1200-1800 words.
