字源 FORM what the parts do
論 sets words (言) beside 侖, slips gathered and laid in order — to take a thing apart case by case. 不 and 無 are both borrowed negations; here they cancel that sorting: the cases are listed but never told apart. 都 or 也 in the second clause then lands every listed case on one outcome.
故事 STORY a scene to remember it by
The slips lie in a row, each case spelled out. None gets sorted off from the others; the same verdict falls on all of them.

框 · Frame
不論/無論 [open clause: A 還是/或 B / question-word / A 不 A]，[subj] 都/也 [outcome]
觸 · Trigger
You want to say the outcome holds the same across every option you list, in a written or formal register.
序 · The move
1After 不論 / 無論, lay out the open clause — A 還是/或 B, a question-word (什麼/誰/多少), or an A 不 A.Is the clause genuinely open? A single fixed fact takes 雖然, not 不論.
2Put 都 (or 也) before the predicate of the second clause.Does the answering adverb sit after its subject and before the verb?
3State the one outcome that holds across every listed case.Would that outcome stay unchanged whichever case from the list you pick?

界 · Boundary
不管…都…
Same construction and same sweep; 不論/無論 is the written, formal register, 不管 the everyday spoken one. Swap freely in speech, prefer 不論/無論 in writing.
不論 takes an OPEN list (alternatives, a question-word, or A-not-A) and keeps one outcome across all of them; 雖然 takes a single SETTLED fact and then turns against it.
