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: "Perceptual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from external sensory input (e.g., visual scenes, sounds, tactile sensations from the environment) from those derived from internal bodily sensations (e.g., proprioception, interoception, vestibular sense). These two categories comprehensively cover all sources of direct sensory input for pattern processing.
7
From: "Exteroceptive Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from senses that perceive stimuli at a distance (e.g., vision, audition for environmental scanning and distant object recognition) from those that require direct physical contact or very close proximity (e.g., touch, taste, smell for immediate object properties and direct interaction). These two categories comprehensively cover all sources of exteroceptive sensory input by distinguishing between information gathered about the broader, remote environment and information gathered through immediate, close-range interaction with objects or substances.
8
From: "Proximal Exteroceptive Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from proximal senses that detect chemical stimuli (e.g., taste, smell for identifying substances or their presence) from those that detect physical and mechanical stimuli (e.g., touch for identifying textures, pressure, temperature, or physical contact). These two categories comprehensively cover all forms of proximal exteroceptive pattern processing.
9
From: "Chemical Proximal Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from chemical stimuli detected by taste receptors (gustation) from those derived from chemical stimuli detected by olfactory receptors (olfaction). These two distinct chemosensory systems comprehensively cover the scope of proximal chemical pattern processing and activation.
10
From: "Olfactory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of olfactory patterns derived from living organisms or their direct biological processes/products (e.g., pheromones, food sources, predator scents, signs of health or disease) from those derived from non-living matter or physicochemical environmental processes (e.g., minerals, industrial chemicals, smoke, ozone, geological phenomena). This distinction is crucial as these two categories of olfactory stimuli often carry inherently different ecological, survival, and social significance, driving distinct adaptive responses and pattern activations, thereby comprehensively covering all sources of olfactory input.
11
From: "Abiotic Source Olfactory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of olfactory patterns derived from naturally occurring non-living matter and physicochemical processes (e.g., minerals, atmospheric phenomena, geological emissions, natural combustion products) from those derived from human-made non-living materials, engineered substances, or human-induced physicochemical processes (e.g., industrial chemicals, synthetic materials, vehicle exhaust, processed goods). This distinction is vital as these two categories often carry different ecological, safety, and social implications for human interaction with the abiotic environment, comprehensively covering all sources of abiotic olfactory input.
12
From: "Anthropogenic Abiotic Olfactory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of olfactory patterns derived from anthropogenic abiotic sources based on whether the scent is an intentionally designed or integrated sensory feature (e.g., perfumes, artificial food aromas, scented products) from those that are unintended byproducts, emissions, or indicators of human-made materials or processes (e.g., industrial chemicals, vehicle exhaust, off-gassing from new materials). These two categories comprehensively cover all forms of anthropogenic abiotic olfactory pattern processing.
