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: "Emergent Social Configurations"
Split Justification: All emergent social configurations can be fundamentally divided into those patterned outcomes that define the distribution of informal power, prestige, and perceived importance among individuals (e.g., informal hierarchies, individual reputations), and those patterned outcomes that define the distribution of emotional bonds, affinities, and sense of integration or estrangement within the collective (e.g., group cohesion, emergent cliques). This dichotomy separates the organizational patterns of social sway and respect from the relational patterns of emotional ties and belonging, ensuring mutual exclusivity as these are distinct dimensions of informal social patterning, and comprehensive exhaustion by covering the primary forms of stable emergent social organization.
8
From: "Configurations of Social Connection and Belonging"
Split Justification: All emergent social configurations related to connection and belonging can be fundamentally divided into those that describe the patterned state of an individual's inclusion within or exclusion from the overall collective, impacting the group's unity (e.g., group cohesion, social integration), and those that describe the patterned relationships and affinities between specific individuals or smaller clusters within the collective, forming distinct social ties or subgroups (e.g., emergent cliques, friendship networks). This dichotomy separates patterns of holistic group belonging from patterns of specific inter-individual relations, ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive exhaustion.
9
From: "Configurations of Collective Integration"
Split Justification: All configurations of collective integration can be fundamentally divided into those that describe the patterned state of individuals' emotional and cognitive identification with the collective, fostering a sense of shared identity and unity (Affective-Cognitive Belonging), and those that describe the patterned state of individuals' active roles, contributions, and functional interdependence within the collective, enabling coordinated action and collective purpose (Instrumental-Behavioral Participation). This dichotomy separates the internal, psychological dimensions of belonging and shared meaning from the external, actionable dimensions of engagement and functional contribution, ensuring mutual exclusivity as distinct facets of integration, and comprehensive exhaustion by covering the primary ways individuals are patterned into a collective's unity.
10
From: "Configurations of Affective-Cognitive Belonging"
Split Justification: All configurations of affective-cognitive belonging can be fundamentally divided into those patterned states where individuals' identification with the collective is primarily rooted in emotional bonds, feelings of connection, and group attachment (Emotional Identification), and those patterned states where identification is primarily rooted in shared understandings, beliefs, values, common narratives, and a collective sense of self (Cognitive Identification). This dichotomy separates the emotional dimension of belonging from the cognitive dimension of shared identity and meaning-making, ensuring mutual exclusivity as distinct facets and comprehensive exhaustion by fully encompassing the scope of affective-cognitive belonging.
11
From: "Configurations of Cognitive Identification"
Split Justification: All configurations of cognitive identification can be fundamentally divided into those patterned states where individuals identify with the collective based on shared explicit or implicit understandings, beliefs, values, and common stories that articulate the group's principles and history (Patterns of Shared Meanings and Narratives), and those patterned states where identification is rooted in an overarching, integrated cognitive representation of 'who we are' as a collective, defining its unique identity (Patterns of Collective Self-Concept). This dichotomy separates the specific cognitive elements and their articulations from the holistic, emergent mental model of group identity, ensuring mutual exclusivity as distinct dimensions and comprehensive exhaustion by covering all forms of cognitive identification.
12
From: "Patterns of Collective Self-Concept"
Split Justification: All patterns of collective self-concept can be fundamentally divided into those patterned cognitive representations that describe the collective's perceived characteristics, roles, history, and defining qualities (Collective Identity Attributes), and those patterned cognitive representations that reflect the collective's shared evaluative judgments of its own worth, competence, pride, and efficacy (Collective Self-Esteem and Efficacy). This dichotomy separates the descriptive components of 'who we are' from the evaluative components of 'how good we are,' ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive exhaustion by covering the primary dimensions of a collective's integrated self-concept.
