Model A identifies LSE as Te-leading with Si Creative. Model-L specifies that this is Te(S.) — Praxis, the hands-on and material mode of practical application, supported by Si(T.) — Observation.
This distinction matters when separating LSE from LIE. Both lead with Te in Model A terms, but LSE's Te(S.) is concrete, procedural, and material. LIE's Te(N.) is strategic, conceptual, and future-facing.
For LSE, Model-L clarifies why productivity is so tied to craft and maintenance: usefulness is measured in working systems, tangible improvements, and dependable methods.
