1
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: "External World (Interaction)"
Split Justification: All external interactions fundamentally involve either other human beings (social, cultural, relational, political) or the non-human aspects of existence (physical environment, objects, technology, natural world). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive.
3
From: "Interaction with Humans"
Split Justification: All human interaction can be fundamentally categorized by its primary focus: either on the direct connection and relationship between specific individuals (from intimate bonds to fleeting encounters), or on the individual's engagement within and navigation of larger organized human collectives, their rules, roles, and systems. This dichotomy provides a comprehensive and distinct division between person-to-person dynamics and person-to-society dynamics.
4
From: "Personal Relationships"
Split Justification: Personal relationships can be fundamentally divided based on whether their primary origin is an unchosen, inherent bond (such as family or blood ties) or a volitional, chosen connection based on mutual interests, affection, or shared values. This dichotomy accounts for all personal bonds.
5
From: "Kinship and Familial Relationships"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between family relationships primarily established through shared ancestry or bloodlines (kinship by descent) and those formed through marriage, adoption, or other social and legal compacts (kinship by alliance). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of inherent and familial bonds.
6
From: "Kinship by Descent"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between kin relationships established in a direct line of ascent or descent (e.g., parent-child, grandparent-grandchild) and those who share a common ancestor but are not in a direct lineal relationship (e.g., siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles). This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of kinship by descent.
7
From: "Direct Kinship"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between direct lineal relationships tracing upwards to ancestors (e.g., parents, grandparents) and those tracing downwards to descendants (e.g., children, grandchildren). This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of direct kinship.
8
From: "Direct Descendant Kinship"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between direct descendants who are one generational step removed from the ego (children) and those who are two or more generational steps removed (grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc.), thereby providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all direct descendant kinship.
9
From: "Further Descendants"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between direct descendants who are two generational steps removed from the ego (grandchildren) and those who are three or more generational steps removed (great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, etc.), thereby providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all further direct descendant kinship.
10
From: "Further Removed Descendants"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between direct descendants who are three generational steps removed from the ego (great-grandchildren) and those who are four or more generational steps removed (great-great-grandchildren, etc.), thereby providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all further removed direct descendant kinship.
11
From: "Great-grandchildren"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes great-grandchildren based on whether their direct line of descent from the ego primarily traces through one of the ego's sons (paternal line) or one of the ego's daughters (maternal line). This is a foundational distinction in many kinship systems, significantly influencing social roles, inheritance, and identity, thereby providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all great-grandchildren.
12
From: "Great-grandchildren through Paternal Line"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes great-grandchildren whose direct line of descent from the ego (via the ego's son) traces through a grandson (son's son) from those whose line traces through a granddaughter (son's daughter). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all great-grandchildren through the paternal line, further refining the lineage based on the gender of the intervening grandchild.
