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: "Formal Social Systems"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between the overarching framework of authority, law, and governance that establishes and enforces the primary rules and structures for an entire society (encompassing governmental bodies, legal systems, and core regulatory agencies), and the diverse range of specific, mission-oriented institutions that operate within, and are shaped by, this overarching framework to achieve particular goals, produce goods, or provide services (such as corporations, educational institutions, healthcare systems, or formal non-profits). These categories are mutually exclusive, as an entity is either part of the foundational governance and legal apparatus or a specific purpose-driven organization operating under its purview, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of formal social systems.
6
From: "Purpose-Driven Formal Organizations"
Split Justification: All purpose-driven formal organizations are fundamentally distinguished by their primary financial objective: whether they operate to generate profit for their owners or shareholders, or to dedicate all financial surpluses to the advancement of their stated mission without distributing profits. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core financial structure is either profit-seeking or non-profit, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of purpose-driven formal organizations.
7
From: "Profit-Seeking Organizations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes profit-seeking organizations based on their ownership and capital structure: whether their shares are publicly traded on a stock exchange, making them accessible to the general public and subject to specific regulatory oversight, or held privately by individuals or a limited group of entities, not traded on public markets. This split is mutually exclusive, as an organization's ownership is either publicly traded or privately held, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of profit-seeking organizations.
8
From: "Publicly Traded Corporations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes publicly traded corporations based on the identity of their ultimate controlling shareholder(s) or majority ownership: whether the controlling stake (or sufficient influence to dictate major strategic decisions) is held by a governmental entity, which often introduces additional mandates beyond pure profit, or if control is predominantly held by private individuals, institutions, or a widely dispersed body of private investors, whose primary objective is maximizing shareholder value. This division is mutually exclusive, as ultimate control rests with either a governmental body or private interests, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of publicly traded corporations.
9
From: "Government-Controlled Publicly Traded Corporations"
Split Justification: All government-controlled publicly traded corporations, while inherently profit-seeking, can be fundamentally categorized by the primary nature of the mandate or rationale driving the government's controlling stake. This dichotomy distinguishes between corporations where the government's primary control is exercised to achieve broader strategic national interests (e.g., national security, critical infrastructure, resource control, or maintaining essential public services), which often leads to decisions that balance profit with public good, and those where the government's primary motivation for control is commercial, focusing on maximizing financial returns for the state (e.g., revenue generation, direct commercial investment) with profit maximization as the dominant objective. This split is mutually exclusive, as a government's primary controlling rationale falls into one of these categories, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of government-controlled publicly traded corporations.
10
From: "Strategic State Corporations (Publicly Traded)"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between government-controlled publicly traded corporations whose primary strategic mandate is focused on safeguarding national security, defense, and sovereignty (e.g., military industries, strategic defense contractors), and those whose primary strategic mandate is focused on ensuring the stable functioning of critical economic sectors, essential public services, and foundational societal welfare (e.g., critical infrastructure like energy or transport, strategic resource management, essential utilities). These categories are mutually exclusive, as a corporation's primary strategic rationale for government control falls distinctly into one area, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full scope of "broader strategic national interests" as outlined for the parent node.
11
From: "National Security Strategic Corporations"
Split Justification: National Security Strategic Corporations can be fundamentally categorized by whether their primary strategic mandate involves the development, production, or maintenance of physical assets, kinetic capabilities, and tangible infrastructure for defense and security (e.g., military hardware, weapon systems, strategic physical fortifications), or whether their primary strategic mandate involves the development, provision, and protection of cyber, intelligence, and information-based capabilities crucial for national security (e.g., cybersecurity, electronic warfare, surveillance technologies, data intelligence platforms). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a corporation's primary contribution to national security falls distinctly into either the physical/kinetic domain or the cyber/information domain, and comprehensively exhaustive, encompassing the full range of modern national security assets and threats.
12
From: "Physical and Kinetic Security Corporations"
Split Justification: All physical and kinetic security corporations can be fundamentally categorized by their primary strategic contribution to national security: either providing the means for active force projection and direct engagement with adversaries, or developing and maintaining the physical infrastructure and support systems essential for defense, resilience, and operational sustainability. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a corporation's core strategic mandate and primary outputs fall distinctly into one of these areas, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the entire range of physical and kinetic national security provisions.
