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: "Internal World (The Self)"
Split Justification: The Internal World involves both mental processes (**Cognitive Sphere**) and physical experiences (**Somatic Sphere**). (Ref: Mind-Body Distinction)
3
From: "Somatic Sphere"
Split Justification: The Somatic Sphere encompasses all physical aspects of the self. These can be fundamentally divided based on whether they are directly accessible to conscious awareness and subjective experience (e.g., pain, touch, proprioception) or whether they operate autonomously and beneath the threshold of conscious perception (e.g., heart rate, digestion, cellular metabolism). Every bodily sensation, state, or process falls into one of these two categories, making them mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive.
4
From: "Conscious Somatic Experience"
Split Justification: Conscious somatic experiences can be fundamentally divided based on whether their primary focus is on the body's internal condition, physiological state, or spatial configuration (e.g., hunger, proprioception, pain from an organ, fatigue) or whether they are primarily concerned with the body's interaction, contact, or perception of stimuli from the external environment (e.g., touch, temperature, pressure, pain from an external source). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an experience's primary referent is either internal or external to the body's boundary, and comprehensively exhaustive as all conscious somatic experiences fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
5
From: "Awareness of External Bodily Interactions"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences focused on external interactions can be fundamentally categorized by whether the body is actively initiating and controlling the interaction with the environment (e.g., touching, grasping, applying pressure, manipulating objects) or whether it is passively receiving stimuli or impacts from the external environment (e.g., being touched, feeling ambient temperature, experiencing external pressure or impact). This distinction precisely separates experiences by the primary locus of agency in the interaction, making the categories mutually exclusive, and together they cover the entire scope of awareness of external bodily interactions, thus being comprehensively exhaustive.
6
From: "Awareness of Active External Bodily Engagement"
Split Justification: Active external bodily engagement can be fundamentally divided based on whether the conscious somatic experience primarily concerns the body's self-initiated movement through space and its dynamic orientation within the broader environment, or whether it primarily concerns the body's direct, focused interaction with and manipulation of specific external objects or surfaces. These two domains are mutually exclusive as the primary locus of active somatic awareness is either the body's global relationship to its environment or its localized interaction with discrete external entities. Together, they comprehensively cover all forms of awareness of active external bodily engagement.
7
From: "Awareness of Active Object and Surface Manipulation"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects and surfaces can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness of the manipulation is directed towards gathering sensory information about the object's inherent properties (e.g., feeling its texture, shape, temperature, weight) or towards performing an action to achieve a specific external outcome or effect a change in the object or environment (e.g., writing, building, lifting, operating tools). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the predominant purpose of the active somatic engagement at any given moment aligns with either exploring for information or acting for a goal, and together they comprehensively cover the entire scope of awareness of active object and surface manipulation.
8
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Goal-Directed Action"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of active manipulation for goal-directed action fundamentally involve either changing an object's spatial position relative to its environment (relocation) or altering its internal form, structure, composition, or the arrangement of its parts (configuration). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary objective of the manipulation at any given moment is distinct, and comprehensively exhaustive, as they encompass all fundamental types of external outcomes achieved through such goal-directed engagement.
9
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Object Configuration"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of active manipulation for object configuration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness of the manipulation is directed towards altering the inherent physical characteristics of the object itself (such as its form, composition, integrity, or phase of matter) or whether it is directed towards changing the spatial, structural, or functional relationships between distinct, identifiable components or parts of the object. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the focus of awareness is either on the intrinsic properties of the material or the extrinsic organization of its constituent parts, and they are comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of object configuration fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
10
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation to Alter Object's Material State"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of active manipulation to alter an object's material state can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness is directed towards breaking down, separating, or reducing the object's physical integrity, composition, or form (e.g., cutting, crushing, dissolving), or whether it is directed towards combining, fusing, or shaping new material structures or states (e.g., molding, mixing, solidifying). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary objective of the manipulation at any given moment is distinctly either reductive or formative, and they are comprehensively exhaustive, as all fundamental alterations to an object's material state involve either disintegration or formation.
11
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Material Disintegration"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences of active manipulation for material disintegration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness is directed towards breaking down or separating the object through the application of mechanical forces that alter its physical integrity or macroscopic form, or whether it is directed towards disintegrating the object by altering its chemical composition or phase through non-mechanical processes. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary mechanism and resulting awareness of the disintegration are distinct, and they are comprehensively exhaustive, as all fundamental ways to reduce an object's physical integrity, composition, or form fall into either mechanical or chemical/phase-based breakdown.
12
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Chemical and Phase Disintegration"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of active manipulation for chemical and phase disintegration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness is directed towards breaking down the object by altering its chemical composition through reactions that result in new substances, or whether it is directed towards disintegrating the object by changing its physical state (e.g., solid to liquid, liquid to gas, or dissolving a solid) without altering its fundamental chemical identity. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the nature of the material alteration is distinct, and they are comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of non-mechanical material disintegration involve either a chemical transformation or a phase change.
