Differences by Developmental Stage

【Early Stage: Individual Use Period (Childhood – Early Adolescence)】
Uses +Fi-p and -Se-c sequentially — "first maintain integrity, then enforce discipline"
Takes time, requires externalization
Strengthening: Diverse inputs (+Fi-p), diverse outputs (-Se-c)

【Middle Stage: Coordination Ease Period (Late Adolescence – Early Adulthood)】
Coordination becomes easier — "maintaining integrity while enforcing discipline" becomes possible
Integrity maintenance → immediate discipline enforcement
Strengthening: Diverse thinking and contemplation (Correlator)

【Late Stage: Integration Period (Late Adulthood – Middle Age)】
Gradually intermixing — formation of Causal Determinism
Unification as "faith and responsibility"
Improvement of intuitive accuracy through experience

【Mature Stage: Complete Integration Period (Middle Age – Old Age)】
Finally becomes one process
Maintaining integrity immediately entails discipline enforcement
Grasps deviations at a glance and solidifies order
Years of experience and wisdom, mentoring younger generations
