1
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 the Non-Human World"
Split Justification: All human interaction with the non-human world fundamentally involves either the cognitive process of seeking knowledge, meaning, or appreciation from it (e.g., science, observation, art), or the active, practical process of physically altering, shaping, or making use of it for various purposes (e.g., technology, engineering, resource management). These two modes represent distinct primary intentions and outcomes, yet together comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans engage with the non-human realm.
4
From: "Understanding and Interpreting the Non-Human World"
Split Justification: Humans understand and interpret the non-human world either by objectively observing and analyzing its inherent structures, laws, and phenomena to gain factual knowledge, or by subjectively engaging with it to derive aesthetic value, emotional resonance, or existential meaning. These two modes represent distinct intentions and methodologies, yet together comprehensively cover all ways of understanding and interpreting the non-human world.
5
From: "Interpreting Subjective Significance"
Split Justification: Humans interpret subjective significance from the non-human world in two fundamentally distinct ways: either through direct, immediate sensory and emotional engagement (e.g., experiencing beauty, awe, or comfort from nature or art), or through a more reflective, cognitive process of attributing abstract conceptual meaning, often through symbols, narratives, or existential contemplation (e.g., a landscape symbolizing freedom, an artifact representing heritage, the night sky evoking questions of purpose). These two modes are mutually exclusive in their primary focus (immediate reception versus reflective attribution) and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full spectrum of subjective engagement.
6
From: "Conceptual and Symbolic Meaning Attribution"
Split Justification: Humans attribute abstract conceptual and symbolic meaning to the non-human world through two fundamentally distinct avenues: either by drawing upon established collective human constructs, narratives, traditions, and historical contexts (sociocultural and historical frameworks), or by engaging in deeper, reflective inquiry into universal aspects of existence, purpose, and the human condition that transcend specific cultural bounds (existential and universal contemplation). These two modes are mutually exclusive, as the primary source and nature of the attributed meaning differ (contingent human constructs vs. transcendent philosophical inquiry), and together they comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans assign abstract conceptual and symbolic significance to the non-human world.
7
From: "Meaning from Existential & Universal Contemplation"
Split Justification: Humans derive meaning from existential and universal contemplation of the non-human world by either focusing on its implications for the human condition, purpose, and experience within the broader cosmic or universal scheme (e.g., mortality, significance, freedom), or by focusing on the non-human world itself as a revelation of ultimate reality, fundamental cosmic laws, or the inherent nature of existence (e.g., universal order, metaphysical truths, cosmic origins). These two approaches are mutually exclusive in their primary focus (anthropocentric vs. cosmocentric/ontological) and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full spectrum of deriving meaning from existential and universal contemplation.
8
From: "Meaning concerning Ultimate Reality and Cosmic Principles"
Split Justification: Humans derive conceptual and symbolic meaning concerning ultimate reality and cosmic principles either through structured rational inquiry and interpretation of the non-human world's inherent laws and patterns, or through a more direct, often non-discursive, intuitive apprehension of its fundamental nature and ultimate existence which is subsequently conceptualized. These represent distinct cognitive pathways for attributing meaning, one emphasizing logical coherence and the other holistic insight, yet together they comprehensively cover how such meaning is formed from the non-human world.
9
From: "Meaning from Intuitive Apprehension of Ultimate Reality"
Split Justification: Humans intuitively apprehend ultimate reality either through a direct, non-discursive insight into the fundamental oneness, non-duality, or undifferentiated nature of existence, which is typically experienced as impersonal and without specific attributes, or through a direct perception of an inherent, often divine or vital, consciousness, sacredness, or purposeful intelligence embedded within or underlying reality. These two distinct modes of intuitive understanding represent fundamentally different characteristics of what is apprehended as ultimate reality, yet together they comprehensively cover the full spectrum of such non-discursive insights.
10
From: "Intuitive Perception of Sacred Consciousness"
Split Justification: Humans intuitively perceive sacred consciousness either as an immanent, pervasive life-force, spirit, or sacred essence infused within the very fabric of existence and the non-human world itself, or as a transcendent, distinct divine intelligence or purposeful mind that governs, creates, or underlies the non-human world, extending beyond its immediate physical manifestations. These two perceptions are mutually exclusive in their primary locus and nature of sacred consciousness (within/identical with reality vs. beyond/originating reality) and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full spectrum of ways one might intuitively apprehend sacred consciousness.
11
From: "Intuition of Transcendent Divine Intelligence"
Split Justification: Humans intuitively perceive transcendent divine intelligence either as a single, ultimate, and all-encompassing conscious entity, or as a multiplicity of distinct, though perhaps hierarchically ordered, conscious entities. This fundamental distinction concerns the numerical and relational nature of the perceived divine intelligence, providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive dichotomy for its intuitive apprehension.
12
From: "Intuition of Multiple, Distinct Transcendent Intelligences"
Split Justification: ** Humans intuitively perceive multiple, distinct transcendent intelligences either as intrinsically tied to particular, discrete, and often tangible aspects of the non-human world (e.g., specific geographical features, animal species, or localized natural phenomena), or as embodying broader, abstract, and overarching principles, laws, or structures that govern the non-human world at a cosmic or universal scale (e.g., fate, time, elemental forces as concepts, or cosmic order). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an intelligence's primary intuitive association is either with the particular and manifest or the universal and abstract, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full scope of such intuitions.
