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 Intrinsic Physiological Well-being"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of intrinsic physiological well-being can be fundamentally divided based on whether it is primarily experienced as an abundance of energetic capacity, aliveness, and vigor (physiological vitality) or as a profound state of internal calm, balance, and deep ease (physiological equanimity). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a sensation's dominant quality is either dynamic energetic flow or static internal harmony, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of positive, thriving physiological states will primarily manifest as one of these two fundamental experiential qualities.
9
From: "Awareness of Physiological Vitality"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of physiological vitality can be fundamentally divided based on whether it is primarily experienced as the body's robust capacity for physical exertion, resilience, and sustained energetic output (physiological strength and stamina) or as a felt sense of inner lightness, effervescence, and vibrant aliveness (physiological buoyancy and vibrancy). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a sensation's dominant quality is either its powerful physical capability or its sparkling inner animation, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of abundant physiological energy, aliveness, and vigor will primarily manifest as one of these two fundamental experiential qualities.
10
From: "Awareness of Physiological Buoyancy and Vibrancy"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of physiological buoyancy and vibrancy can be fundamentally divided based on whether it is primarily experienced as a sensation of physical lightness, effortlessness, and absence of physical burden (physiological lightness and ease) or as a dynamic, sparkling internal energy and a sense of vivid, glowing animation (physiological effervescence and inner radiance). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a sensation's dominant quality is either its perceived weightlessness and fluidity or its internal dynamic glow, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of physiological buoyancy and vibrancy will primarily manifest as one of these two fundamental experiential qualities.
11
From: "Awareness of Physiological Lightness and Ease"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of physiological lightness and ease can be fundamentally divided based on whether the sensation is primarily of the body's perceived lack of weight or absence of physical burden (physiological lightness), or whether it is primarily of the body's capacity for movement and function without resistance or strain (physiological effortless flow). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an experience's dominant quality is either its perceived mass/gravitational feel or its dynamic efficiency/smoothness, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of physiological lightness and ease will primarily manifest as one of these two fundamental experiential qualities.
12
From: "Awareness of Physiological Lightness"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of physiological lightness, which primarily concerns the body's perceived lack of weight or absence of physical burden within the domain of "perceived mass/gravitational feel," can be fundamentally divided based on whether the sensation is primarily focused on the body's own intrinsic physical substance feeling less substantial, dense, or inherently "lighter" (Awareness of Felt Bodily Mass Lightness), or whether it is primarily focused on the perceived reduction in the pull of gravity, leading to a feeling of being less anchored, more uplifted, or having a tendency to float (Awareness of Felt Gravitational Buoyancy). These two categories are mutually exclusive as one refers to the perceived quality of the body's own mass, and the other to the perceived effect of an external force on the body, and comprehensively exhaustive as all experiences of physiological lightness related to perceived mass or gravitational feel will fall into one of these two fundamental experiential domains.
