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)

From: "Somatic Sphere"
Split Justification: The Somatic Sphere encompasses all physical aspects of the self. These can be fundamentally divided based on whether they are directly accessible to conscious awareness and subjective experience (e.g., pain, touch, proprioception) or whether they operate autonomously and beneath the threshold of conscious perception (e.g., heart rate, digestion, cellular metabolism). Every bodily sensation, state, or process falls into one of these two categories, making them mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive.
4
From: "Conscious Somatic Experience"
Split Justification: Conscious somatic experiences can be fundamentally divided based on whether their primary focus is on the body's internal condition, physiological state, or spatial configuration (e.g., hunger, proprioception, pain from an organ, fatigue) or whether they are primarily concerned with the body's interaction, contact, or perception of stimuli from the external environment (e.g., touch, temperature, pressure, pain from an external source). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an experience's primary referent is either internal or external to the body's boundary, and comprehensively exhaustive as all conscious somatic experiences fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
5
From: "Awareness of Internal Bodily States"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of internal bodily states can be fundamentally categorized as either perceptions related to the body's internal homeostatic balance, health, and drives (e.g., hunger, thirst, pain from organs, fatigue) or perceptions related to the body's physical configuration, posture, and locomotion in space (e.g., proprioception, kinesthesia, balance). These two categories are distinct in their primary sensory input and functional purpose, making them mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive for internal bodily awareness.
6
From: "Awareness of Physiological Needs and States"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of physiological needs and states fundamentally relates to either a deviation from homeostasis, indicating a problem, lack, or threat (physiological discomfort or deficiency), or the successful maintenance or restoration of homeostasis, indicating well-being or met needs (physiological comfort or sufficiency). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a sensation cannot simultaneously signal a problem and its resolution, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious physiological state will fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
7
From: "Awareness of Physiological Comfort or Sufficiency"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of physiological comfort or sufficiency can be fundamentally divided based on whether the sensation is primarily focused on the resolution or cessation of a previously experienced or anticipated physiological deficiency, discomfort, or need (e.g., satiety from hunger, feeling rested from fatigue, pain subsiding), or whether it is focused on the presence of a positive, optimal, or thriving physiological state independent of immediate prior deficiency (e.g., sensations of vitality, robust health, deep physical ease, pleasant warmth not related to overcoming cold). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an awareness's primary referent is either a state of relief or an independent state of positive well-being, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of physiological comfort or sufficiency will fall into one of these two fundamental experiential categories.
8
From: "Awareness of Physiological Relief"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of physiological relief arises from the resolution of a prior negative physiological state. These prior states are fundamentally of two types: either a deprivation or deficiency of something essential for maintaining physiological balance (e.g., lack of nutrients, rest, appropriate temperature), or the presence of an adverse, harmful, or undesirable stimulus or internal state (e.g., pain, nausea, excessive pressure). Relief, therefore, is primarily experienced either as the restoration or provision of what was lacking, or as the cessation or reduction of what was harmful or undesirable, making these two categories mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive for all forms of physiological relief.
9
From: "Awareness of Relief from Deficiency or Deprivation"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of relief from deficiency or deprivation fundamentally stems from one of two distinct mechanisms: either the active provision or intake of essential physical resources, substances, or restorative conditions that were lacking (e.g., nutrients for hunger, water for thirst, sleep for rest, warmth for cold); or the cessation of a physiological expenditure, exertion, or demanding state that had led to depletion or overload (e.g., rest from physical labor, relaxation from sustained muscle tension, quiet from sensory overstimulation). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary source of relief is either the direct reception of what was needed or the termination of what was taxing, and comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of relief from deficiency or deprivation fall into one of these fundamental experiential processes.
10
From: "Awareness of Relief from Cessation of Demand"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of relief from the cessation of demand can be fundamentally divided based on whether the demand originated from a purposeful, active, or voluntarily engaged physiological expenditure (e.g., physical exertion, maintaining a difficult posture) or whether the demand arose from the body being subjected to unwanted, involuntary, or excessive stimuli or states (e.g., sensory overload, chronic muscle tension, environmental stressors). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the source of the demand is either self-initiated activity or an external/involuntary burden, and comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of somatic demand leading to this type of relief will fall into one of these two fundamental experiential origins.
11
From: "Awareness of Relief from Cessation of Deliberate Bodily Effort"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of relief from the cessation of deliberate bodily effort can be fundamentally divided based on whether the effort primarily involved moving the body or manipulating objects through space (gross motor locomotion or manipulation), or whether it primarily involved maintaining a fixed body position, sustaining balance, or executing highly controlled, localized movements (postural maintenance or fine motor precision). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the core nature of the deliberate effort is either dynamic displacement or static/precise control, and comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of deliberate bodily effort will fall into one of these two fundamental functional domains.
12
From: "Awareness of Relief from Cessation of Gross Motor Locomotion or Manipulation"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of relief from the cessation of gross motor locomotion or manipulation can be fundamentally divided based on whether the discontinued effort primarily involved moving the entire body or a significant portion of it through space (locomotion), or whether it primarily involved using the body to interact with, move, or reshape external objects (manipulation). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary objective of the gross motor effort is either self-displacement or object-interaction, and comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of gross motor activity fall into one of these two fundamental functional domains.
