What is the difference between these two?

1: It lasts from Oct 3rd through Oct 6th.
2: It lasts from Oct 3rd to Oct 6th.

I have a material regarding the content as below, but I can't upload it here.
Anyway, I'd like to know if native speakers actually distinguish the concept of "specific" and "unique" for "the".
In this case, "the" seems to function as "unique" according to the following definitions, but it could be "specific" at the same time.
This kind of adding "the" to unique nouns is quite hard for the Koreans and the Japanese as we don't use it for this case.
I think "specific" can be treated as "unique" and vice versa. What do you think?

==========================================
How to use "the"

Rule 1: Indefinite articles are used for previously unknown nouns that are being introduced into a dialogue or story and definite articles are used for nouns that have already been introduced (or are already known or are assumed to be known at the point of introduction to the conversation).

For example:

I saw a cat. The cat was sitting on a fence. The fence was painted brown. The cat jumped off the fence when it saw a mouse. The mouse ran into a hole when it saw the cat so the cat didn't catch the mouse.

Rule 2: When a Noun is Unique, Use a Definite Article

Another important rule is when something is unique[SUP]*[/SUP] or, in other words, there is only one of that object. In this case, the definite article is used. The sun, the president, the queen of England, the capital city, and the moon are all examples. This is especially true for objects that are well known by many or most people, but it is true even when the hearer may not know the object:

A:Who's he?
B:He's the president of Korea. She's the CFO. He's the mayor.

In this case the word through is used to indicate that the event takes place on Oct 3rd and Oct. 6th and all the days in between. It's used for clarity.

Two different perspectives. The mouse was happy. The cat was disappointed.
