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 Sensory Exploration"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects and surfaces for sensory exploration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness is directed towards gathering sensory information about the object's inherent properties that are perceived at its direct interface or superficial layer (e.g., texture, temperature, localized pressure, vibration), or towards properties that describe its overall structural, spatial, or material characteristics, often requiring bodily movement, grasp, and integration of sensory inputs (e.g., shape, size, weight, rigidity, contours, spatial orientation). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive as the primary informational focus of the active manipulation aligns with either surface qualities or integrated structural qualities, and comprehensively exhaustive as all inherent object properties explored through active manipulation fall into one of these two fundamental categories of haptic information.
9
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Object-Structural Haptic Qualities"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects to explore their structural haptic qualities can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary awareness is directed towards understanding the object's geometric arrangement, shape, dimensions, and spatial relationship to itself or its environment (e.g., shape, size, contours, spatial orientation), or towards understanding its intrinsic physical composition, density, and gravitational attributes (e.g., weight, rigidity, material consistency). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary informational focus is either on the object's spatial layout or its physical substance, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all aspects of object-structural haptic qualities.
10
From: "Awareness of Haptic Exploration of Object Form and Spatial Configuration"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects to explore their form and spatial configuration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary awareness is directed towards understanding the object's inherent, qualitative geometric properties such as its specific shape, contours, and internal geometric arrangement, or towards understanding its quantitative spatial attributes like its overall size, extent, and its orientation or position within the surrounding environment. These two categories are mutually exclusive as the primary focus of haptic exploration is either on the object's internal geometric pattern or on its spatial occupancy and alignment, and together they comprehensively cover all aspects of an object's form and spatial configuration.
11
From: "Awareness of Haptic Exploration of Object's Spatial Dimensions and Orientation"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects to explore their spatial dimensions and orientation can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary awareness is directed towards understanding the object's inherent quantitative magnitude, such as its overall size, length, width, or depth, or whether it is directed towards understanding its relational attributes within a spatial context, such as its alignment, tilt, or placement relative to a frame of reference (e.g., the body, gravity, other objects). These two categories are mutually exclusive as the focus is either on the object's intrinsic scale or its extrinsic situational arrangement, and together they comprehensively cover all aspects of an object's spatial dimensions and orientation.
12
From: "Awareness of Haptic Exploration of Object's Spatial Orientation and Position"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects to explore their spatial orientation and position can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary awareness is directed towards understanding the object's alignment, tilt, or placement in relation to the exploring body's own spatial configuration (an egocentric frame of reference), or whether it is directed towards understanding these attributes in relation to external entities such as other objects, environmental features, or universal spatial anchors like gravity (an allocentric frame of reference). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as a spatial relation is inherently framed either from the perspective of the self or from an external perspective, and together they comprehensively cover all possible frames of reference for understanding an object's spatial orientation and position.
