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: "Informal Social Systems"
Split Justification: All informal social systems can be fundamentally divided into two mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive categories: those focused on the collective, unwritten understandings, values, beliefs, traditions, and customs that guide behavior (Shared Meaning and Norms), and those focused on the spontaneous, interactional processes and structures of influence, status, reputation, and cohesion that arise within groups (Emergent Social Dynamics). One describes the content and collective interpretation of the informal system, while the other describes the interactive mechanisms and relational outcomes.
6
From: "Emergent Social Dynamics"
Split Justification: ** All emergent social dynamics can be fundamentally divided into the active, ongoing processes of interaction that generate them (such as influence attempts, social signaling, and reciprocal exchanges) and the more stable, patterned configurations that arise as a result of these interactions (such as informal hierarchies, established reputations, and levels of group cohesion). This dichotomy separates the real-time unfolding mechanisms of social activity from the patterned outcomes that define informal social organization, ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive exhaustion.
7
From: "Dynamic Interactional Processes"
Split Justification: All dynamic interactional processes can be fundamentally divided into those primarily focused on establishing, conveying, and interpreting shared meaning, symbols, and social understanding among participants, and those primarily focused on actively influencing others' behaviors, states, or coordinating actions to achieve collective or interdependent outcomes. This dichotomy distinguishes between the interpretive and communicative aspects of interaction and the action-oriented, consequential aspects, ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive exhaustion.
8
From: "Shared Meaning and Social Understanding Processes"
Split Justification: All processes involved in establishing, conveying, and interpreting shared meaning and social understanding fundamentally consist of two mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive roles: the active formulation and outward transmission of meaning, symbols, or cues by a sender (encoding and expression), and the active reception and cognitive processing to discern that meaning by a receiver (decoding and interpretation). This dichotomy covers the complete interactive loop necessary for collective understanding within dynamic social interactions.
9
From: "Meaning Encoding and Expression Processes"
Split Justification: All processes of encoding and expressing meaning fundamentally rely on either the structured use of language and linguistic symbols (verbal communication) or on non-linguistic cues such as body language, facial expressions, gestures, and paralinguistic elements (non-verbal communication). These two distinct systems, while often integrated in real-time interaction, represent mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive channels and mechanisms for the outward transmission of meaning.
10
From: "Verbal Meaning Encoding and Expression"
Split Justification: All processes of verbal meaning encoding and expression fundamentally manifest through two distinct modalities: the production of spoken language (vocalizations, intonation, words transmitted aurally) or the production of written language (text, symbols, characters transmitted visually). These two forms are mutually exclusive, as a given act of verbal expression is either spoken or written, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all primary means by which linguistic meaning is outwardly communicated.
11
From: "Written Verbal Encoding and Expression"
Split Justification: All processes of written verbal encoding and expression can be fundamentally divided based on the origin of the linguistic content: either it is newly generated and formulated by the encoder's internal cognitive processes (novel linguistic content), or it involves the transcription, reproduction, or transformation of verbal content that already exists from an external source (such as spoken language or another written text). This distinction is mutually exclusive, as a given act of written verbal encoding primarily involves one or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all sources for written linguistic expression.
12
From: "Written Encoding of Existing Verbal Content"
Split Justification: All existing verbal content that is encoded in written form must fundamentally originate from either previously spoken language (e.g., dictation, transcription) or previously written language (e.g., copying, summarizing, translating a text). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the source content's primary modality is either spoken or written, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of pre-existing verbal content.
