This paper proposes a foundational closed-loop structure for individual growth, development, cultivation, and holistic evolution — Zhi·Li·Zheng·Cheng. The structure asserts that any authentic growth must integrally encompass these four dimensions. They are not four sequential stages but an organic whole with four interdependent facets — Knowing contains Experiencing, Experiencing contains Verifying, Verifying contains Undertaking, and Undertaking contains new Knowing. This version introduces two core deepenings: (1) Holographic Nature — each dimension inherently contains the information and seeds of the other three dimensions; (2) Living Nature — this structure is not a static framework but an organic, dynamic, self-evolving living process that continuously grows, self-corrects, and self-transcends as it is used. The paper demonstrates that Zhi, Li, Zheng, and Cheng are inseparable, and that this structure serves as the meta-structural expression, at the scale of individual growth, of frameworks such as Not-Yet Cognition, Gong Lun, and Triadic Unity.
