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: "Personal Relationships"
Split Justification: Personal relationships can be fundamentally divided based on whether their primary origin is an unchosen, inherent bond (such as family or blood ties) or a volitional, chosen connection based on mutual interests, affection, or shared values. This dichotomy accounts for all personal bonds.
5
From: "Chosen and Affinitive Relationships"
Split Justification: All chosen and affinitive relationships can be fundamentally categorized by the presence or absence of a romantic and/or sexual dimension. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a relationship either encompasses these elements or it does not, and it is comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of chosen bonds from intimate romantic partnerships to platonic friendships, mentorships, and other volitional connections based on shared interests or values.
6
From: "Non-Romantic Affinitive Relationships"
Split Justification: All non-romantic affinitive relationships can be fundamentally distinguished by whether their primary focus is the direct, personal bond, mutual support, and shared experience between individuals (companionship), or if it centers on a common external objective, a specific shared activity, or the exchange of skills and knowledge (purpose or activity). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a relationship's core driver is one or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of non-romantic chosen connections.
7
From: "Personal Companionship Relationships"
Split Justification: All personal companionship relationships fundamentally vary in the depth of emotional intimacy, vulnerability, and shared life experiences. Some connections are characterized by profound trust, extensive mutual support, and a central role in an individual's life, while others focus on broader social interaction, shared interests, and less intensive emotional engagement. This dichotomy comprehensively divides all personal companionship based on the intensity and scope of the bond.
8
From: "Intimate Companionship"
Split Justification: All intimate companionship relationships fundamentally differ in the scope and primary domain of their deep connection. Some are characterized by extensive integration into each other's overall lives, involving shared practical support, mutual navigation of life's challenges, and a broad presence across many domains of existence. Others are defined by a focused depth of connection primarily within the emotional, intellectual, or spiritual inner world, emphasizing vulnerability, profound understanding, and facilitating personal reflection or growth. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive in its primary orientation and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of intimate non-romantic bonds.
9
From: "Broad Life Integration Companionship"
Split Justification: All broad life integration companionship relationships fundamentally differ in how that integration primarily manifests: either through the active co-creation, co-management, and shared responsibility for a common practical life framework or undertaking (such as a household, co-parenting unit, or shared venture), or through providing pervasive, multifaceted practical and emotional support, deep presence, and mutual navigation for each other's distinct, yet deeply intertwined, individual lives and paths. This dichotomy provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division of such profound non-romantic bonds.
10
From: "Shared Life-Framework Companionship"
Split Justification: ** The fundamental distinction for shared life-framework companionship lies in whether the primary focus of the shared framework is the joint management of a common domestic environment and daily routines, or the collaborative pursuit, development, or co-creation of an external project, enterprise, or significant undertaking. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a relationship's core shared framework is oriented towards one domain or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of non-romantic broad life integration centered on a common practical framework.
11
From: "Shared Household and Domestic Management"
Split Justification: The fundamental distinction for shared household and domestic management lies in the primary orientation of the shared framework: either towards the practical division of labor, resources, and responsibilities for a shared dwelling while individuals largely maintain distinct personal lives, or towards the holistic integration of lives into a shared communal lifestyle, involving significant pooling of resources and a deeper commitment to collective well-being and shared identity. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the core driver of the shared domestic management is primarily one or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of non-romantic intimate companionship focused on managing a shared domestic environment.
12
From: "Task-Oriented Co-habitation"
Split Justification: The fundamental distinction for task-oriented co-habitation lies in whether the primary purpose of sharing a dwelling and its associated tasks is the efficient and economical management of shared resources and responsibilities, or the provision of specific aid, care, or mutual support necessitating the shared living arrangement. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive in its primary orientation and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of non-romantic, task-oriented co-habitation where individuals largely maintain distinct personal lives.
