Origin Path

1
From: "Human Potential & Development."
Split Justification: Development fundamentally involves both our inner landscape (**Internal World**) and our interaction with everything outside us (**External World**). (Ref: Subject-Object Distinction)..
"Internal World (The Self)" (W1)
➔ "External World (Interaction)" (W2)
2
From: "External World (Interaction)"
Split Justification: All external interactions fundamentally involve either other human beings (social, cultural, relational, political) or the non-human aspects of existence (physical environment, objects, technology, natural world). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive.
"Interaction with Humans" (W4)
➔ "Interaction with the Non-Human World" (W6)
3
From: "Interaction with the Non-Human World"
Split Justification: All human interaction with the non-human world fundamentally involves either the cognitive process of seeking knowledge, meaning, or appreciation from it (e.g., science, observation, art), or the active, practical process of physically altering, shaping, or making use of it for various purposes (e.g., technology, engineering, resource management). These two modes represent distinct primary intentions and outcomes, yet together comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans engage with the non-human realm.
"Understanding and Interpreting the Non-Human World" (W10)
➔ "Modifying and Utilizing the Non-Human World" (W14)
4
From: "Modifying and Utilizing the Non-Human World"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates human activities within the "Modifying and Utilizing the Non-Human World" into two exhaustive and mutually exclusive categories. The first focuses on directly altering, extracting from, cultivating, and managing the planet's inherent geological, biological, and energetic systems (e.g., agriculture, mining, direct energy harnessing, water management). The second focuses on the design, construction, manufacturing, and operation of complex artificial systems, technologies, and built environments that human intelligence creates from these processed natural elements (e.g., civil engineering, manufacturing, software development, robotics, power grids). Together, these two categories cover the full spectrum of how humans actively reshape and leverage the non-human realm.
"Modifying and Harnessing Earth's Natural Substrate" (W22)
➔ "Creating and Advancing Human-Engineered Superstructures" (W30)
5
From: "Creating and Advancing Human-Engineered Superstructures"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates human-engineered superstructures based on their primary mode of existence and interaction. The first category encompasses all tangible, material structures, machines, and physical networks built by humans. The second covers all intangible, computational, and data-based architectures, algorithms, and virtual environments that operate within the digital realm. Together, these two categories comprehensively cover the full spectrum of artificial systems and environments humans create, and they are mutually exclusive in their primary manifestation.
➔ "Engineered Physical Constructs and Infrastructures" (W46)
"Engineered Digital and Informational Systems" (W62)
6
From: "Engineered Physical Constructs and Infrastructures"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between the large-scale, often fixed, and interconnected physical systems that form the fundamental backbone and enabling environment for human activity and society (e.g., transportation networks, utility grids, major public facilities), versus the more discrete, often mobile, and purpose-specific physical constructs and objects designed for direct operational use, individual function, or localized habitation within or upon these foundational systems (e.g., vehicles, tools, machinery, appliances, individual dwellings).
"Foundational Infrastructure Systems" (W78)
➔ "Operational Constructs and Discrete Objects" (W110)
7
From: "Operational Constructs and Discrete Objects"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates physical constructs based on their primary mode of function. The first category encompasses objects designed for active task performance, transformation, mobility, or direct operational use (e.g., tools, machinery, vehicles, active appliances). The second category includes objects designed primarily to provide a static environment, shelter, storage, or passive containment for living or holding other objects (e.g., individual dwellings, furniture, containers, sheds). These two categories are mutually exclusive in their primary intent and comprehensively cover the scope of operational constructs and discrete objects.
"Dynamic Operational Devices and Vehicles" (W174)
➔ "Static Enclosures for Habitation and Containment" (W238)
8
From: "Static Enclosures for Habitation and Containment"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates "Static Enclosures for Habitation and Containment" into two exhaustive and mutually exclusive categories. The first category encompasses larger, often fixed architectural constructions that define a primary enclosed space specifically designed for human habitation or substantial storage. The second category includes more granular, often movable objects designed to furnish these spaces, facilitate human activity within them, or specifically contain smaller items.
➔ "Architectural Structures for Enclosed Living and Storage" (W366)
"Interior Furnishings and Item Receptacles" (W494)
9
From: "Architectural Structures for Enclosed Living and Storage"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes architectural structures based on whether their primary design intent and function are for human dwelling and residence or for any other purpose, such as industrial production, commercial activity, public service, education, or material storage. This separation ensures mutual exclusivity based on the dominant intended use and comprehensively covers all architectural structures for enclosed living and storage.
➔ "Architectural Structures for Primary Human Habitation" (W622)
"Architectural Structures for Non-Habitation Purposes" (W878)
10
From: "Architectural Structures for Primary Human Habitation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes architectural structures for primary human habitation based on their design to accommodate either a single, independent living unit (e.g., a household or individual) or multiple, distinct, and separate living units within a single larger structure. This separation is mutually exclusive as a structure serves one primary mode of occupancy, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of architectural structures intended for human dwelling.
"Single-Unit Residential Structures" (W1134)
➔ "Multi-Unit Residential Structures" (W1646)
11
From: "Multi-Unit Residential Structures"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates multi-unit residential structures based on the completeness and autonomy of their individual living spaces. The first category encompasses structures where each dwelling unit is designed as a complete, independent residence, containing all essential living amenities (e.g., kitchen, bathroom, sleeping, and living areas) within its private boundaries. The second category includes structures where individual living units (e.g., private rooms or small suites) are designed to share essential daily living facilities or support services with other units or residents (e.g., communal kitchens, shared bathrooms, central dining, or care facilities). This distinction is mutually exclusive, as a unit's design either includes all core amenities or relies on shared ones, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of multi-unit residential habitation.

Logic behind this split:

This dichotomy fundamentally separates "Structures with Shared Core Living Facilities" based on the primary role and extent of services provided by the shared facilities. The first category encompasses structures where shared amenities primarily facilitate basic living for residents who are largely self-sufficient and independent. The second category includes structures where the shared core facilities are integral to providing structured care, supervision, medical aid, or specialized support services for residents who require varying degrees of assistance. This distinction is mutually exclusive, as a structure's primary operational model will align with either facilitating independent living or providing integrated care, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of shared living arrangements within the parent node's scope.
