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)..
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: "Personal Relationships"
Split Justification: Personal relationships can be fundamentally divided based on whether their primary origin is an unchosen, inherent bond (such as family or blood ties) or a volitional, chosen connection based on mutual interests, affection, or shared values. This dichotomy accounts for all personal bonds.
5
From: "Kinship and Familial Relationships"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between family relationships primarily established through shared ancestry or bloodlines (kinship by descent) and those formed through marriage, adoption, or other social and legal compacts (kinship by alliance). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of inherent and familial bonds.
6
From: "Kinship by Descent"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between kin relationships established in a direct line of ascent or descent (e.g., parent-child, grandparent-grandchild) and those who share a common ancestor but are not in a direct lineal relationship (e.g., siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles). This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of kinship by descent.
7
From: "Direct Kinship"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between direct lineal relationships tracing upwards to ancestors (e.g., parents, grandparents) and those tracing downwards to descendants (e.g., children, grandchildren). This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of direct kinship.
8
From: "Direct Descendant Kinship"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between direct descendants who are one generational step removed from the ego (children) and those who are two or more generational steps removed (grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc.), thereby providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all direct descendant kinship.
9
From: "Further Descendants"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between direct descendants who are two generational steps removed from the ego (grandchildren) and those who are three or more generational steps removed (great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, etc.), thereby providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all further direct descendant kinship.
10
From: "Grandchildren"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between grandchildren whose direct parent is a son of the ego and those whose direct parent is a daughter of the ego. This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all grandchildren based on the intervening lineal relationship.
11
From: "Grandchildren via Sons"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between grandchildren whose direct parent is a son of the ego and who are themselves male, and those whose direct parent is a son of the ego and who are themselves female. This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all grandchildren via sons based on their own gender.
12
From: "Granddaughters via Sons"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between granddaughters via sons who are biologically descended from the son (and thus the ego) and those who are legally integrated into the family through adoption by the son. This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all granddaughters via sons.
