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)..
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.
3
From: "Interaction with Humans"
Split Justification: All human interaction can be fundamentally categorized by its primary focus: either on the direct connection and relationship between specific individuals (from intimate bonds to fleeting encounters), or on the individual's engagement within and navigation of larger organized human collectives, their rules, roles, and systems. This dichotomy provides a comprehensive and distinct division between person-to-person dynamics and person-to-society dynamics.
4
From: "Social Systems and Structures"
Split Justification: All social systems and structures can be fundamentally categorized by whether their rules, roles, and organization are explicitly codified, institutionalized, and formally enforced (formal systems), or are unwritten, emergent, culturally embedded, and maintained through custom, tradition, and implicit social pressure (informal systems). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a system's primary mode of operation is either formal or informal, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all aspects of collective human organization.
5
From: "Formal Social Systems"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between the overarching framework of authority, law, and governance that establishes and enforces the primary rules and structures for an entire society (encompassing governmental bodies, legal systems, and core regulatory agencies), and the diverse range of specific, mission-oriented institutions that operate within, and are shaped by, this overarching framework to achieve particular goals, produce goods, or provide services (such as corporations, educational institutions, healthcare systems, or formal non-profits). These categories are mutually exclusive, as an entity is either part of the foundational governance and legal apparatus or a specific purpose-driven organization operating under its purview, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of formal social systems.
6
From: "Purpose-Driven Formal Organizations"
Split Justification: All purpose-driven formal organizations are fundamentally distinguished by their primary financial objective: whether they operate to generate profit for their owners or shareholders, or to dedicate all financial surpluses to the advancement of their stated mission without distributing profits. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core financial structure is either profit-seeking or non-profit, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of purpose-driven formal organizations.
7
From: "Non-Profit Organizations"
Split Justification: All non-profit organizations are fundamentally categorized by whether their primary mission is to serve the general public or a specific segment thereof (addressing societal needs, providing collective goods, or advancing a broad cause), or to serve the specific interests and needs of their own formal members (such as professional associations, unions, or social clubs). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core beneficiary focus is either external public or internal membership, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of non-profit organizations.
8
From: "Member Benefit Organizations"
Split Justification: All Member Benefit Organizations fundamentally serve either individual human beings as their members or other collective entities (such as businesses, non-profits, or government agencies) as their members. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's primary members are either individuals or institutions, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of formal member beneficiaries.
9
From: "Individual Member Organizations"
Split Justification: ** All individual member organizations fundamentally focus their primary benefits either on the professional, vocational, or career-related aspects of their members' lives, or on the personal, social, recreational, or avocational aspects. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core purpose for its members is generally distinct in these two domains, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all primary reasons individuals join member organizations for their own benefit.
10
From: "Professional and Vocational Member Organizations"
Split Justification: All professional and vocational member organizations fundamentally focus their primary efforts either on the collective oversight, advancement, and standardization of the profession or vocation itself, or on the direct support and development of their individual members' careers, skills, and opportunities within that field. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core purpose is generally distinct in these two areas, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full scope of professional and vocational member organization activities.
11
From: "Professional and Vocational Field Stewardship Organizations"
Split Justification: ** All professional and vocational field stewardship organizations fundamentally focus their primary efforts either on defining, maintaining, and developing the internal standards, ethics, educational requirements, and body of knowledge for the profession or vocation itself, or on engaging with external societal actors (such as government, the public, or other professions) to represent the field's interests, influence policy, and advocate for its recognition, resources, and societal value. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core focus is generally distinct in these two areas, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full scope of professional and vocational field stewardship activities.
12
From: "Professional and Vocational Field External Representation and Advocacy"
Split Justification: All professional and vocational field external representation and advocacy fundamentally focuses either on directly influencing governmental bodies, regulatory agencies, and legal frameworks to shape policies, laws, and official guidelines that impact the field, or on engaging with the broader public, media, other professions, and non-governmental stakeholders to manage perception, build relationships, foster understanding, and promote the field's value and interests. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the primary target and nature of influence are distinct (formal state power vs. broader societal engagement), and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of external representation and advocacy.
