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: "Cognitive Sphere"
Split Justification: Cognition operates via deliberate, logical steps (**Analytical Processing**) and faster, intuitive pattern-matching (**Intuitive/Associative Processing**). (Ref: Dual Process Theory)
4
From: "Intuitive/Associative Processing"
Split Justification: Intuitive/associative processing fundamentally operates in two distinct, yet complementary, modes: either by rapidly identifying and utilizing pre-existing patterns and associations (often automatically and implicitly), or by forming new, non-obvious connections that lead to emergent insights and novel ideas. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how this cognitive function processes information.
5
From: "Pattern Matching & Implicit Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on direct sensory input (e.g., recognizing faces, sounds, immediate environmental threats) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on abstract meaning, categories, semantic knowledge, and higher-level schema (e.g., understanding language, social cues, expert intuition). These two categories delineate distinct levels of information abstraction in pattern processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how pre-existing patterns are implicitly identified and utilized.
6
From: "Conceptual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on abstract factual knowledge, semantic networks, and categories (knowing 'what' things are) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on skills, rules, and action sequences (knowing 'how' to do things). These two categories delineate distinct forms of conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
7
From: "Declarative Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on general knowledge, facts, and concepts independent of specific personal experience (e.g., knowing the capital of France) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on specific past events, personal experiences, and their associated contexts (e.g., recalling details of a specific birthday party). These two categories delineate distinct forms of declarative conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
8
From: "Episodic Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the objective factual details, sequences, and descriptive elements of specific past events (e.g., recognizing that a current situation mirrors the actions or context of a past personal experience) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the subjective emotional states, sensations, and personal significance associated with those specific past events (e.g., recognizing that a current situation evokes the same feelings or reactions as a past personal experience). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how patterns from personal past events are implicitly identified and activated.
9
From: "Activation of Event-Affect Patterns"
Split Justification: Subjective emotional states, sensations, and personal significance inherently carry a fundamental qualitative distinction of valence (pleasantness or unpleasantness). This dichotomy comprehensively covers all possible affective patterns based on past events, as the intuitive activation of such patterns is primarily differentiated by whether they signal a positive or negative personal significance, driving distinct approach or avoidance responses respectively.
10
From: "Activation of Positive Event-Affect Patterns"
Split Justification: Positive emotional states, sensations, and personal significance inherently vary along a fundamental dimension of arousal (intensity/activation). This dichotomy comprehensively covers all possible positive affective patterns based on past events, as their intuitive activation is primarily differentiated by whether they signal an energetic, activating personal significance (e.g., excitement, joy) or a calm, deactivating personal significance (e.g., serenity, contentment), often driving distinct responses like engagement or repose, respectively.
11
From: "Activation of Low Arousal Positive Event-Affect Patterns"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on low arousal positive affect that arises from the resolution, cessation, or avoidance of a negative past event or state (e.g., relief from a past threat, security after conflict) from patterns based on low arousal positive affect that arises from the direct experience of inherent pleasantness, harmony, satisfaction, or fulfillment from a past event, independent of a prior negative state (e.g., serenity from a peaceful memory, contentment from a fulfilling experience). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how low arousal positive affect patterns from personal past events are implicitly identified and activated.
12
From: "Activation of Presence-Derived Low Arousal Positive Patterns"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on low arousal positive affect that arises from the direct experience of inherent pleasantness, harmony, satisfaction, or fulfillment from a past event, where the primary source of this positive state is internal to the self (e.g., a sense of inner peace, mastery, or self-acceptance), from patterns where the primary source is external to the self (e.g., appreciation of nature, harmonious social connection, aesthetic enjoyment). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how low arousal positive affect patterns derived from presence are implicitly identified and activated based on their primary origin.
