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: "Understanding Objective Realities"
Split Justification: Humans understand objective realities either through empirical investigation of the physical and biological world and its governing laws, or through the deductive exploration of abstract structures, logical rules, and mathematical principles. These two domains represent fundamentally distinct methodologies and objects of study, yet together encompass all forms of objective understanding of non-human reality.
6
From: "Understanding Formal Systems and Principles"
Split Justification: Humans understand formal systems and principles either by focusing on the abstract study of quantity, structure, space, and change (e.g., arithmetic, geometry, algebra, calculus), or by focusing on the abstract study of reasoning, inference, truth, algorithms, and information processing (e.g., formal logic, theoretical computer science). These two domains represent distinct yet exhaustive categories of formal inquiry.
7
From: "Understanding Logical and Computational Systems"
Split Justification: Humans understand logical and computational systems either by focusing on the abstract rules and structures that govern valid inference, truth, and formal argumentation, or by focusing on the abstract principles and methods that govern information processing, problem-solving procedures, and the limits of computation. These two domains represent distinct yet exhaustive categories within the study of logical and computational systems.
8
From: "Understanding Formal Logic and Deductive Reasoning"
Split Justification: Formal logic and deductive reasoning fundamentally involve two distinct yet inseparable dimensions: the abstract rules and structures governing the formation and transformation of logical expressions and arguments (syntax, proof theory), and the meaning, truth conditions, and interpretation of these expressions in relation to various models or realities (semantics, model theory). These two areas represent distinct methodologies and objects of study within logic, yet together they comprehensively cover the entire scope of understanding formal logic.
9
From: "Understanding Logical Semantics and Model Theory"
Split Justification: Understanding Logical Semantics and Model Theory fundamentally involves two distinct yet complementary aspects: first, establishing the basic mechanisms for assigning meaning to formal language elements and determining the truth of formulas within specific mathematical structures (models); and second, investigating the overarching properties of these models, the relationships between them, and their connections to formal theories. These two areas represent the foundational definitional layer and the subsequent theoretical exploration, together exhaustively covering the discipline.
10
From: "Understanding Properties of Models and Theories"
Split Justification: Understanding Properties of Models and Theories fundamentally involves two distinct lines of inquiry: first, examining the inherent features or internal structures of individual models (e.g., saturatedness, homogeneity) or specific theories (e.g., consistency, completeness, decidability); and second, analyzing properties that describe the relationships between models (e.g., elementary equivalence, isomorphism), or how a theory behaves across its entire class of models (e.g., categoricity, compactness, Löwenheim-Skolem theorems). These two categories comprehensively cover all ways of understanding the properties discussed in model theory.
11
From: "Understanding Intrinsic Characteristics of Models and Theories"
Split Justification: Understanding the intrinsic characteristics of models and theories fundamentally involves two distinct objects of study: the inherent features and internal structures pertaining to individual mathematical structures (models), or the inherent properties and internal structures pertaining to formal deductive systems (theories). This dichotomy directly separates these two primary focuses as covered by the parent node, ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive coverage.
12
From: "Understanding Intrinsic Characteristics of Theories"
Split Justification: ** Understanding the intrinsic characteristics of theories fundamentally involves two distinct sets of properties: first, those concerning a theory's internal coherence, non-contradictory nature, and the existence of models that satisfy it (Consistency, Satisfiability); and second, those concerning a theory's deductive power, its capacity to algorithmically determine the truth of sentences, and its foundational definitional structure (Completeness, Decidability, Axiomatizability). These two categories represent distinct yet exhaustively comprehensive domains of intrinsic theoretical properties.
