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: "Internal World (The Self)"
Split Justification: The Internal World involves both mental processes (**Cognitive Sphere**) and physical experiences (**Somatic Sphere**). (Ref: Mind-Body Distinction)
3
From: "Cognitive Sphere"
Split Justification: Cognition operates via deliberate, logical steps (**Analytical Processing**) and faster, intuitive pattern-matching (**Intuitive/Associative Processing**). (Ref: Dual Process Theory)
4
From: "Analytical Processing"
Split Justification: Analytical thought engages distinct symbolic systems: abstract logic and mathematics (**Quantitative/Logical Reasoning**) versus structured language (**Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning**).
5
From: "Quantitative/Logical Reasoning"
Split Justification: Logical reasoning can be strictly formal following rules of inference (**Deductive Proof**) or drawing general conclusions from specific examples (**Inductive Reasoning Case Study**). (L5 Split)
6
From: "Inductive Reasoning Case Study"
Split Justification: Induction involves forming general rules (**Hypothesis Generation**) and testing their predictive power (**Hypothesis Testing**). (L6 Split)
7
From: "Hypothesis Generation"
Split Justification: Generating a hypothesis requires identifying a pattern (**Observing Correlations**) and formulating a testable explanation (**Stating a Falsifiable Claim**).
8
From: "Stating a Falsifiable Claim"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between claims that assert a specific outcome based on given conditions and claims that assert a universal property or relationship for an entire category, both being fundamental forms of falsifiable statements.
9
From: "Stating a Categorical Generalization"
Split Justification: This dichotomy differentiates categorical generalizations based on the scope of their quantifier: whether the claim applies to all members of a category (universal) or to at least one member (particular). This is a fundamental logical distinction that is mutually exclusive and comprehensively covers all forms of categorical generalizations.
10
From: "Universal Categorical Generalization"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates universal categorical generalizations based on whether they describe an inherent, intrinsic characteristic common to all members of a category (Universal Intrinsic Property Generalization) or a consistent interaction, behavior, or relationship these members exhibit in response to external factors or other entities (Universal Extrinsic Relational Generalization). Both types represent falsifiable claims that comprehensively cover the scope of universal categorical statements about the world.
11
From: "Universal Intrinsic Property Generalization"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between intrinsic properties that are universally true by virtue of the definition or logical structure of the concept (analytic) versus those that are universally true based on consistent empirical observation and experience, adding substantive knowledge not contained within the concept's definition (synthetic). Together, these categories comprehensively cover all forms of universal intrinsic property generalizations.
12
From: "Analytic Universal Intrinsic Property Generalization"
Split Justification: This split differentiates Analytic Universal Intrinsic Property Generalizations based on the immediate source of their analytic truth. "Definitional Intrinsic Property Generalization" refers to generalizations where the intrinsic property is explicitly part of or directly establishes the definition of the concept itself (e.g., "All triangles have three sides"). "Deductive Intrinsic Property Generalization" refers to generalizations where the intrinsic property is a necessary logical consequence or is derived through deduction from the concept's definition or other foundational analytic truths (e.g., "All squares have diagonals that bisect each other"). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as a property is either constitutive of a definition or necessarily derivable from it, and together they comprehensively cover the ways an intrinsic property can be analytically generalized.
