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: "Intuitive/Associative Processing"
Split Justification: Intuitive/associative processing fundamentally operates in two distinct, yet complementary, modes: either by rapidly identifying and utilizing pre-existing patterns and associations (often automatically and implicitly), or by forming new, non-obvious connections that lead to emergent insights and novel ideas. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how this cognitive function processes information.
5
From: "Pattern Matching & Implicit Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on direct sensory input (e.g., recognizing faces, sounds, immediate environmental threats) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on abstract meaning, categories, semantic knowledge, and higher-level schema (e.g., understanding language, social cues, expert intuition). These two categories delineate distinct levels of information abstraction in pattern processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how pre-existing patterns are implicitly identified and utilized.
6
From: "Conceptual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on abstract factual knowledge, semantic networks, and categories (knowing 'what' things are) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on skills, rules, and action sequences (knowing 'how' to do things). These two categories delineate distinct forms of conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
7
From: "Declarative Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on general knowledge, facts, and concepts independent of specific personal experience (e.g., knowing the capital of France) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on specific past events, personal experiences, and their associated contexts (e.g., recalling details of a specific birthday party). These two categories delineate distinct forms of declarative conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
8
From: "Semantic Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the inherent attributes, characteristics, and definitions that define individual concepts (e.g., recognizing 'a bird has feathers', 'a square has four equal sides') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the connections, classifications, and associations between different concepts within a broader semantic network (e.g., recognizing 'birds are a type of animal', 'squares are a type of polygon', 'the relationship between supply and demand'). These two categories comprehensively cover how general knowledge patterns are implicitly identified and activated, focusing either on the defining 'what' of a concept or its 'how it connects' to others.
9
From: "Inter-Conceptual Relations"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on hierarchical structures, classifications, and category membership (e.g., 'X is a type of Y', 'A is a part of B') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on other forms of association, co-occurrence, or thematic links (e.g., 'X is associated with Y', 'X causes Y', 'X has Y'). These two categories comprehensively cover how general knowledge patterns involving connections between concepts are implicitly identified and activated, differentiating between relationships of inclusion/subsumption and all other forms of semantic relatedness.
10
From: "Associative Inter-Conceptual Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns where one concept is understood to directly or indirectly bring about or influence another (cause-effect relationships) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on all other forms of co-occurrence, thematic relatedness, or contextual links where a direct causal influence is not implied. These two categories comprehensively cover how general knowledge patterns involving non-hierarchical connections between concepts are implicitly identified and activated, distinguishing between relationships of direct influence and all other forms of semantic relatedness.
11
From: "Causal Inter-Conceptual Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns where the cause is understood to invariably and reliably lead to the effect (under specified conditions) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns where the cause is understood to increase the likelihood of the effect, but not guarantee it. These two categories comprehensively cover the fundamental ways in which causal links are implicitly understood in terms of their reliability and certainty, spanning from absolute predictability to mere increased probability.
12
From: "Deterministic Causal Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns where the cause invariably and reliably leads to the effect due to fundamental, inherent laws of nature (e.g., physics, chemistry, biology) from those where the cause invariably and reliably leads to the effect due to the explicit design, established rules, or constructed mechanisms of a specific system (e.g., engineered devices, formal logic, societal regulations). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of deterministic causal relations by differentiating between naturally occurring and human-imposed/constructed sources of their invariability and reliability.
