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 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.
4
From: "Understanding and Interpreting the Non-Human World"
Split Justification: Humans understand and interpret the non-human world either by objectively observing and analyzing its inherent structures, laws, and phenomena to gain factual knowledge, or by subjectively engaging with it to derive aesthetic value, emotional resonance, or existential meaning. These two modes represent distinct intentions and methodologies, yet together comprehensively cover all ways of understanding and interpreting the non-human world.
5
From: "Interpreting Subjective Significance"
Split Justification: Humans interpret subjective significance from the non-human world in two fundamentally distinct ways: either through direct, immediate sensory and emotional engagement (e.g., experiencing beauty, awe, or comfort from nature or art), or through a more reflective, cognitive process of attributing abstract conceptual meaning, often through symbols, narratives, or existential contemplation (e.g., a landscape symbolizing freedom, an artifact representing heritage, the night sky evoking questions of purpose). These two modes are mutually exclusive in their primary focus (immediate reception versus reflective attribution) and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full spectrum of subjective engagement.
6
From: "Conceptual and Symbolic Meaning Attribution"
Split Justification: Humans attribute abstract conceptual and symbolic meaning to the non-human world through two fundamentally distinct avenues: either by drawing upon established collective human constructs, narratives, traditions, and historical contexts (sociocultural and historical frameworks), or by engaging in deeper, reflective inquiry into universal aspects of existence, purpose, and the human condition that transcend specific cultural bounds (existential and universal contemplation). These two modes are mutually exclusive, as the primary source and nature of the attributed meaning differ (contingent human constructs vs. transcendent philosophical inquiry), and together they comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans assign abstract conceptual and symbolic significance to the non-human world.
7
From: "Meaning from Existential & Universal Contemplation"
Split Justification: Humans derive meaning from existential and universal contemplation of the non-human world by either focusing on its implications for the human condition, purpose, and experience within the broader cosmic or universal scheme (e.g., mortality, significance, freedom), or by focusing on the non-human world itself as a revelation of ultimate reality, fundamental cosmic laws, or the inherent nature of existence (e.g., universal order, metaphysical truths, cosmic origins). These two approaches are mutually exclusive in their primary focus (anthropocentric vs. cosmocentric/ontological) and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full spectrum of deriving meaning from existential and universal contemplation.
8
From: "Meaning concerning Ultimate Reality and Cosmic Principles"
Split Justification: Humans derive conceptual and symbolic meaning concerning ultimate reality and cosmic principles either through structured rational inquiry and interpretation of the non-human world's inherent laws and patterns, or through a more direct, often non-discursive, intuitive apprehension of its fundamental nature and ultimate existence which is subsequently conceptualized. These represent distinct cognitive pathways for attributing meaning, one emphasizing logical coherence and the other holistic insight, yet together they comprehensively cover how such meaning is formed from the non-human world.
9
From: "Meaning from Intuitive Apprehension of Ultimate Reality"
Split Justification: Humans intuitively apprehend ultimate reality either through a direct, non-discursive insight into the fundamental oneness, non-duality, or undifferentiated nature of existence, which is typically experienced as impersonal and without specific attributes, or through a direct perception of an inherent, often divine or vital, consciousness, sacredness, or purposeful intelligence embedded within or underlying reality. These two distinct modes of intuitive understanding represent fundamentally different characteristics of what is apprehended as ultimate reality, yet together they comprehensively cover the full spectrum of such non-discursive insights.
10
From: "Intuitive Grasp of Impersonal Unity"
Split Justification: ** Humans intuitively grasp impersonal unity either as the ultimate, undifferentiated source, substratum, or void from which all existence emerges and to which it ultimately returns, or as the pervasive interconnectedness, non-duality, and inherent wholeness that unifies all discrete phenomena within the manifest world. These two modes are mutually exclusive in their primary focus (unity as origin/potential vs. unity as pervasive reality/relation) and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full spectrum of intuitive insights into impersonal unity.
11
From: "Intuition of Unity as Unmanifest Ground"
Split Justification: ** Humans intuitively grasp unity as the unmanifest ground either by perceiving it as absolute emptiness, a void of pure non-being and non-differentiation from which all existence arises without inherent characteristics; or by perceiving it as primordial potential, an undifferentiated, fundamental substratum or energy that, while unmanifest, contains the inherent generative power for all existence. These two modes are mutually exclusive, representing the ultimate ground as either pure absence or inherent latency, and together comprehensively cover the full spectrum of such intuitive insights.
12
From: "Intuition of Primordial Potential"
Split Justification: Humans intuitively grasp primordial potential either as the sheer, unconditioned capacity or pure latent possibility from which all forms may emerge, emphasizing its state of undifferentiated 'whatness' before actualization; or as the dynamic, inherent formative drive or impulse that actively propels the process of manifestation and generation of existence. These two modes are mutually exclusive, distinguishing between the passive reservoir of potential and the active principle within it, and together comprehensively cover the full spectrum of intuitively grasping primordial potential.
