Super-exponential growth of minimal-origami orbits

Let NgN_g denote the number of distinct SL(2,Z)SL(2,\mathbb{Z})-orbits of origamis in H(2g2)\mathcal{H}(2g-2) with 2g12g-1 squares, such that each of their horizontal and vertical cylinder decompositions consists of one cylinder. Super-exponential orbit-growth conjecture. The quantity NgN_g grows super-exponentially in gg. These origamis, called minimal origamis, have the simplest possible horizontal and vertical cylinder decompositions and the smallest possible number of squares. The conjecture predicts that the number of distinct SL(2,Z)SL(2,\mathbb{Z})-orbits among them becomes extremely large as the genus grows, although the paper notes that even monotonicity in gg is unknown.
