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: "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 External Bodily Interactions"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences focused on external interactions can be fundamentally categorized by whether the body is actively initiating and controlling the interaction with the environment (e.g., touching, grasping, applying pressure, manipulating objects) or whether it is passively receiving stimuli or impacts from the external environment (e.g., being touched, feeling ambient temperature, experiencing external pressure or impact). This distinction precisely separates experiences by the primary locus of agency in the interaction, making the categories mutually exclusive, and together they cover the entire scope of awareness of external bodily interactions, thus being comprehensively exhaustive.
6
From: "Awareness of Active External Bodily Engagement"
Split Justification: Active external bodily engagement can be fundamentally divided based on whether the conscious somatic experience primarily concerns the body's self-initiated movement through space and its dynamic orientation within the broader environment, or whether it primarily concerns the body's direct, focused interaction with and manipulation of specific external objects or surfaces. These two domains are mutually exclusive as the primary locus of active somatic awareness is either the body's global relationship to its environment or its localized interaction with discrete external entities. Together, they comprehensively cover all forms of awareness of active external bodily engagement.
7
From: "Awareness of Active Self-Locomotion and Body-Environment Orientation"
Split Justification: The conscious awareness involved in active self-locomotion and body-environment orientation can be fundamentally divided based on whether it primarily concerns the body's intrinsic physiological feedback about the ongoing movement itself (e.g., proprioception, kinesthesia, effort, internal sense of speed or rhythm) or whether it primarily concerns the interpretation and utilization of external environmental cues to guide movement, maintain balance relative to surroundings, and understand one's position within the broader space (e.g., visual input for navigation, vestibular input for direction and stability). These two domains are mutually exclusive as they represent distinct primary focuses of conscious sensory processing – one internal to the body's moving structure, the other external to the body's boundary but informing its spatial action. Together, they comprehensively cover all aspects of conscious awareness related to active movement through and orientation within an environment.
8
From: "Awareness of Internal Somatic Dynamics of Locomotion"
Split Justification: Conscious awareness of internal somatic dynamics during locomotion can be fundamentally divided based on whether it primarily concerns the specific physical mechanics, position, and movement trajectory of the body's limbs and overall structure (e.g., proprioception, kinesthesia of limb motion), or whether it primarily concerns the physiological expenditure, effort, fatigue, and energetic state experienced by the body during that movement (e.g., perceived exertion, muscle strain, internal rhythm, fatigue). These two domains are mutually exclusive as one focuses on the kinematic and positional data of the moving body, while the other focuses on the internal energetic and physiological feedback. Together, they comprehensively cover all forms of conscious internal somatic dynamics associated with locomotion.
9
From: "Awareness of Physiological Effort and Energetic State during Movement"
Split Justification: Conscious awareness of physiological effort and energetic state during movement can be fundamentally divided based on whether it primarily concerns the immediate, dynamic expenditure of energy and the intensity of work being performed in the present moment, or whether it primarily concerns the overall, cumulative state of the body's energy reserves, its capacity for sustained effort, and the sensation of fatigue. These two domains are mutually exclusive as they refer to distinct aspects of energy dynamics – the ongoing process versus the resultant state – and are comprehensively exhaustive as all relevant conscious experiences fall into one of these categories.
10
From: "Awareness of Cumulative Energetic State and Fatigue"
Split Justification: The parent node encompasses two distinct but related aspects: the perceived state of the body's available energy resources and its ability to continue activity, and the direct, subjective experience of feeling tired or drained. This split differentiates between awareness primarily focused on the *assessment of current energetic resources and the potential for continued activity* (e.g., "how much energy do I have left?", "can I continue this task much longer?") and awareness primarily focused on the *qualitative, felt sensation of being tired, weary, or exhausted* (e.g., "I feel utterly drained," "my body is heavy with fatigue"). These two categories are mutually exclusive as one centers on an estimation of capability/resources, and the other on a direct, affective bodily state. They are comprehensively exhaustive as together they fully cover the scope of cumulative energetic state and the sensation of fatigue.
11
From: "Awareness of Remaining Energy Reserves and Capacity for Sustained Effort"
Split Justification: The parent node encompasses the conscious awareness of the body's energy status for ongoing or future activity. This can be fundamentally divided into two distinct yet interrelated aspects: the awareness primarily focused on the quantitative assessment of the *amount or level* of available internal physiological energy resources at the present moment (e.g., perceiving the body's "fuel tank" as full or low), and the awareness primarily focused on the *estimation of future capability* – specifically, the projected duration or intensity of effort that can be sustained based on those perceived resources. These two categories are mutually exclusive as one centers on the current inventory of resources, while the other centers on the predictive functional outcome of those resources. Together, they comprehensively cover all aspects of conscious awareness related to remaining energy reserves and the capacity for sustained effort.
12
From: "Awareness of Current Energy Resource Levels"
Split Justification: ** The conscious perception of current energy resource levels can be fundamentally divided based on whether it pertains to the immediately accessible, rapidly depleting energy pool primarily utilized for quick, high-intensity actions, or to the larger, more enduring energy stores that support prolonged, lower-intensity activities. These two categories are mutually exclusive as they refer to distinct physiological reservoirs and their characteristic functional availability within the body, and comprehensively exhaustive as all conscious awareness of current energy levels falls into one of these fundamental distinctions.
