Immagine you want to make a fruit juice of mixed orange and lemon. You can start by adding water (exchange term) and then orange/lemon sugary flavor (correlation term). That would be hartree-fock
Or you can start by adding lemon, that would be a DFT approximation that contains both water and flavor without being the exact solution
