It does not necessarily follow; but the FOOM contention is that once A can design a B more capable than itself, B’s increased capability will include the capability to design C, which would have been impossible for A. C can then design D, which would have been impossible for B and even more impossible for A.
Currently, each round of technology aids in developing the next, but the feedback isn’t quite this strong.
