I think it might be a bit clearer to communicate the stages by naming them based on the main vector of improvement throughout the entire stage, i.e. ‘optimization of labor’ for stage one, ‘automation of labor’ for stage two, ‘miniturization’ for stage three.
I think these names are better names for the underlying dynamics, at least—thanks for suggesting them. (I’m less clear they are better labels for the stages overall, as they are a bit more abstract.)
