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 Testing"
Split Justification: Testing a hypothesis involves designing a fair test (**Designing a Simple Experiment**) and drawing conclusions from the outcome (**Interpreting Results**).
8
From: "Designing a Simple Experiment"
Split Justification: Designing a simple experiment fundamentally involves two distinct yet complementary aspects: first, establishing the core elements that will be manipulated, measured, or kept constant (variables and controls); and second, detailing the step-by-step execution plan, including methodology, data collection, and logistical considerations (experimental protocol).
9
From: "Development of Experimental Protocol"
Split Justification: This split divides the development of an experimental protocol into two fundamental aspects. "Definition of Experimental Design Parameters" focuses on the conceptual and structural elements of the experiment, such as identifying and defining variables, establishing control groups, implementing randomization or blinding, and determining sample selection criteria. "Specification of Operational Procedures" details the practical, step-by-step instructions for conducting the experiment, including materials and equipment lists, precise measurement techniques, data collection methods, safety protocols, and a timeline. These two components are distinct yet collectively form a complete experimental protocol.
10
From: "Specification of Operational Procedures"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the operational procedures that involve active intervention, control, or alteration of the experimental system or subjects from those procedures focused on systematically obtaining, measuring, and documenting the resulting observations or data.
11
From: "Procedures for System Manipulation"
Split Justification: This split differentiates between procedures that directly alter the internal components, structure, or inherent properties of the system itself (Intrinsic System Manipulation) and those that modify the external conditions, environment, or influences acting upon the system without changing its core internal identity (Extrinsic System Manipulation). Together, these two categories cover all possible ways to actively manipulate a system within an experimental context.
12
From: "Intrinsic System Manipulation"
Split Justification: Intrinsic system manipulation fundamentally involves either altering the constituent components and their quantities (composition) or modifying the internal conditions and parameters that govern the system's behavior and interactions without changing the components themselves (internal state variables). This dichotomy covers all primary methods of intrinsic modification in an experimental context.
