The Ari's Text

Know that in ZON, all four mentioned phases were in the above order, but in AVI there were only three phases in them, which are the first, the third, and the fourth, but the second phase had no need for them.

1In AVI there were only three Behinot in them. This is so because the second degree of Achor be Panim does not apply to AVI. The reason is that the two degrees, Achor be Panim and Panim be Achor, are erected in them at once, meaning at the lowering of the Hey Tata’a from Eynaim to Peh. At that time Bina returns to her previous state and the diminutions of the Hey Tata’a do not touch her at all. However, in ZON, the Nukva needs two corrections for both her diminutions, one for the Kelim de Achoraim and another for the Kelim de Panim.
