Regarding standard of concept manipulation?

Over time, the CM requirements become increasingly vague. What exactly is meant by "universal" versus "particular"?

in this example, the FORM exemplifies a particular phenomenon, yet it also functions as the cause of said phenomenon and seems to symbolize something beyond the merely particular.

What I have knew so far:

1. It does not fall under vague concept type 3.
2. This immortal art resides beneath the Immortal Laws and the Dao, yet stands above personal objects.
3. It manipulates the Plane of Existence(not material universe).
"The way to cultivate the Naming Family Method is not breathing, but the weakening of the name of emptiness (虚) and substance (實)."

'They say the most important thing is the name... Fate dwells in the name, and thus power also dwells in it...'

The character Makli Hyun-ah writes is 'wood (木)'.

And the moment the character for wood is completed, the spiritual energy in the room gathers into the character.

Only wood-attribute spiritual energy clings to the paper Makli Hyun-ah writes on, and the paper itself starts to take on a faint blue-green light.

"Oho...it really does have an effect."

By assigning the spiritual energy that belongs to emptiness (虚) to the [name (名)] that belongs to substance (實), you seal the spiritual energy in one place.
The characteristic of the Naming Family Method is distortion through the manipulation of emptiness and substance, and manipulating the power of names.

'The Naming Family Method can also treat a product's serial number as a name, handle it, and seal it. And that means...'

"...I, Makli Hyun-ah, borrowing the social authority of the Owner of Names, command. All existences that answer the names I have just called shall, without exception, be sealed!"
forgive my confsuing wording

Then the Immortal Art of the Star Shattering stage, Examination of Doubts, manipulates planes.

The Heavenly Rain Great Star of the Star Shattering Stage engraves the form of Rain (雨) upon the planes of Qi, Soul, and Fate.

In the Plane of Qi, it manifests as simple rain, but in the Plane of Soul, melancholy infects, and in the Plane of Fate, darkness and misfortune gradually begin to spread.

The Heavenly Clearing Great Star engraves the form of Clearing (霽) upon the planes.

In the Plane of Qi, the weather clears, in the Plane of Soul, melancholy disappears, and in the Plane of Fate, misfortune dissipates.

The Heavenly Cloudiness Great Star engraves the form of Cloudiness (蒙).

In the Plane of Qi, spring wells gush forth from beneath mountains, In the Plane of Soul, ignorance takes root, And in the Plane of Fate, the future grows uncertain.

The Heavenly Want of Connection Great Star engraves the form of Want of Connection (驛).

In the Plane of Qi, vegetation sprouts, In the Plane of Soul, 'transmission' occurs, And in the Plane of Fate, fortune and misfortune are passed on to others.

The Heavenly Crossing Great Star engraves the form of Crossing (克).

In the Plane of Qi, it begins the hunt of beasts, In the Plane of Soul, patience, And in the Plane of Fate, it symbolizes victory in war.
