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: "Shared Purpose and Activity Relationships"
Split Justification: All non-romantic, chosen relationships centered on a shared purpose or activity can be fundamentally distinguished by whether their primary dynamic involves individuals working together towards a common external goal or shared experience, or if it focuses on the structured exchange of knowledge, skills, or guidance between individuals. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a relationship's core intent is either collective endeavor or directed learning/teaching, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of shared purpose and activity relationships.
8
From: "Mentorship and Skill Development Relationships"
Split Justification: All mentorship and skill development relationships can be fundamentally distinguished by the primary objective and scope of the knowledge, skills, or guidance being exchanged: whether it is focused on the direct acquisition and mastery of specific, well-defined abilities or knowledge areas, or on providing broader strategic guidance, fostering holistic personal/professional development, and navigating complex pathways. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the core intent of a relationship leans towards one primary focus, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of structured knowledge and skill transfer interactions.
9
From: "Skill-Specific Instruction and Coaching"
Split Justification: All relationships focused on skill-specific instruction and coaching can be fundamentally distinguished by whether the learning and teaching occur within a structured, institutionalized, or professionalized framework with defined roles and curricula (formal), or through less structured, often spontaneous, reciprocal, or ad-hoc exchanges outside such frameworks (informal). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the primary context of instruction leans towards one or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all instances of specific skill transfer relationships.
10
From: "Formal Skill-Specific Instruction"
Split Justification: ** All formal skill-specific instruction can be fundamentally distinguished by whether its primary objective is the mastery of abilities centered on abstract concepts, symbolic systems, and intellectual reasoning (e.g., mathematics, coding, logical analysis), or the proficiency in abilities involving physical execution, sensory-motor coordination, and tangible manipulation or performance (e.g., playing a musical instrument, surgical techniques, athletic performance, craftsmanship). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the core domain of a specific instructional program leans towards one modality, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of formally taught skills.
11
From: "Symbolic and Abstract Skill Instruction"
Split Justification: All formal instruction in symbolic and abstract skills can be fundamentally distinguished by whether its primary objective is the understanding, evaluation, and deconstruction of existing symbolic systems, abstract concepts, or theoretical frameworks, or if it focuses on the creation, design, and building of new symbolic structures, systems, or solutions. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the core intent of a specific instructional program leans towards one primary focus, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of formally taught symbolic and abstract skills.
12
From: "Instruction in Analytical and Interpretive Symbolic Skills"
Split Justification: All instruction in analytical and interpretive symbolic skills can be fundamentally distinguished by whether its primary focus is the objective deconstruction, evaluation, and logical understanding of formal systems (e.g., mathematics, logic, programming syntax) or empirical data (e.g., scientific theories, statistical models), or if it centers on the contextual, meaning-focused understanding, evaluation, and critique of human-created and culturally situated symbolic expressions (e.g., legal texts, philosophical arguments, literature, historical narratives). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the nature of the systems being addressed and the predominant approach to their understanding are distinct, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of analytical and interpretive symbolic learning.
