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 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: "Kinship and Familial Relationships"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between family relationships primarily established through shared ancestry or bloodlines (kinship by descent) and those formed through marriage, adoption, or other social and legal compacts (kinship by alliance). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of inherent and familial bonds.
6
From: "Kinship by Descent"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between kin relationships established in a direct line of ascent or descent (e.g., parent-child, grandparent-grandchild) and those who share a common ancestor but are not in a direct lineal relationship (e.g., siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles). This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of kinship by descent.
7
From: "Collateral Kinship"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin who share the same generational level as the ego (e.g., siblings, cousins) and those who belong to a different generation (e.g., aunts/uncles, nieces/nephews). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship.
8
From: "Collateral Kin of Different Generations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin who belong to a generation older than the ego (e.g., aunts/uncles) and those who belong to a generation younger than the ego (e.g., nieces/nephews). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship of different generations.
9
From: "Collateral Kin of Ascending Generations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin who belong to the generation directly above the ego (i.e., the parents' generation, such as aunts/uncles) and those who belong to generations further above the ego (i.e., grandparents' generations and older, such as great-aunts/uncles). This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship of ascending generations.
10
From: "Collateral Kin of the Parents' Generation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin of the parents' generation who are related to the ego through the ego's mother (e.g., her siblings) and those who are related through the ego's father (e.g., his siblings). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all collateral kin of the parents' generation based on the direct parental linkage.
11
From: "Collateral Kin through the Mother's Line"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin through the mother's line based on their gender, which is a primary determinant in many kinship systems for specific roles, terms (e.g., uncle/aunt), and expectations. This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all collateral kin through the mother's line.
12
From: "Male Collateral Kin through the Mother's Line"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between male collateral kin through the mother's line based on whether they are older than the ego's mother or younger than the ego's mother. This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all male collateral kin through the mother's line.
