Development Stage

The development stage gives us the cyclic principle, “Defer answers.” In this stage we don’t add many new divisions, but instead we explore the divisions already provided in the introduction stage. When we defer answers, we see our attempts to address these problems fail, which may tell us more about the complexities of the problems, or how deep they go. In this stage, we build tension and suspense by learning that we face bigger or more complex problems than we might have guessed at first.

After the development stage, we move on to the contrast stage.

#Young Adulthood

In young adulthood, we learn more about the world, and discover a more complex place than we’d originally thought. Young adults often think they’ve figured everything out, only to find problems more complex than they’d given them credit for.
