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 the Non-Human World"
Split Justification: All human interaction with the non-human world fundamentally involves either the cognitive process of seeking knowledge, meaning, or appreciation from it (e.g., science, observation, art), or the active, practical process of physically altering, shaping, or making use of it for various purposes (e.g., technology, engineering, resource management). These two modes represent distinct primary intentions and outcomes, yet together comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans engage with the non-human realm.
4
From: "Understanding and Interpreting the Non-Human World"
Split Justification: Humans understand and interpret the non-human world either by objectively observing and analyzing its inherent structures, laws, and phenomena to gain factual knowledge, or by subjectively engaging with it to derive aesthetic value, emotional resonance, or existential meaning. These two modes represent distinct intentions and methodologies, yet together comprehensively cover all ways of understanding and interpreting the non-human world.
5
From: "Understanding Objective Realities"
Split Justification: Humans understand objective realities either through empirical investigation of the physical and biological world and its governing laws, or through the deductive exploration of abstract structures, logical rules, and mathematical principles. These two domains represent fundamentally distinct methodologies and objects of study, yet together encompass all forms of objective understanding of non-human reality.
6
From: "Understanding Natural Phenomena and Laws"
Split Justification: Natural phenomena and laws fundamentally pertain either to the properties, processes, and systems of living organisms, or to the composition, behavior, and interactions of non-living matter and energy throughout the universe. This distinction forms the foundational division in natural sciences, creating two distinct yet comprehensively exhaustive domains of objective understanding regarding the natural world.
7
From: "Understanding Biological Life and Systems"
Split Justification: All understanding of biological life and systems fundamentally involves comprehending either the static or relatively stable arrangement of its components, from molecular structures to ecosystem organization, or the active operations, changes, and interactions that occur within and between these components over time. These two modes of inquiry are distinct yet together comprehensively cover all aspects required for a complete understanding of biological systems.
8
From: "Understanding Biological Processes and Dynamics"
Split Justification: All understanding of biological processes and dynamics fundamentally pertains either to the active operations, mechanisms, and regulatory feedback loops occurring within a defined biological system (e.g., cell, organism) to maintain its function and development, or to the complex interplay, relationships, and material/energy exchanges between distinct biological systems (e.g., organisms, populations, communities) and their surrounding abiotic environment. These two domains are mutually exclusive in their primary focus (intra-systemic vs. inter-systemic/environmental) yet together comprehensively cover all aspects of biological processes and dynamics.
9
From: "Dynamics of Biological Interactions and Environmental Relationships"
Split Justification: All dynamics of biological interactions and environmental relationships fundamentally involve either the complex interplay, relationships, and material/energy exchanges exclusively among living organisms (e.g., predator-prey, competition, symbiosis), or the reciprocal exchanges and influences occurring between living organisms and the non-living components of their environment (e.g., nutrient cycling, climate effects, habitat adaptation). These two domains are mutually exclusive in their primary focus and together comprehensively cover the full scope of how biological systems interact externally.
10
From: "Dynamics of Interactions between Biological Entities and the Abiotic Environment"
Split Justification: All reciprocal exchanges and influences between biological entities and their abiotic environment can be fundamentally categorized by the primary direction of the influence: either from the abiotic environment impacting biological systems (e.g., climate dictating species distribution, nutrient availability) or from biological systems modifying the abiotic environment (e.g., forests altering local weather, microbes influencing soil chemistry). These two directions are mutually exclusive in their primary causal flow yet together comprehensively cover all aspects of their dynamic interplay.
11
From: "Influence of the Abiotic Environment on Biological Entities"
Split Justification: The influence of the abiotic environment on biological entities can be fundamentally divided based on whether it primarily dictates the immediate feasibility and operational capacity of life (the physical and chemical requirements or stressors for survival, growth, and metabolic activity), or if it exerts a selective and directional force that shapes the long-term characteristics, evolutionary trajectories, and spatial arrangements of biological systems. These two modes of influence are distinct yet together comprehensively cover the full scope of how the abiotic environment impacts life.
12
From: "Abiotic Conditions for Biological Viability and Function"
Split Justification: ** All abiotic conditions influencing biological viability and function can be fundamentally categorized by their inherent nature: either as physical properties, forces, or states of the environment (e.g., temperature, light, pressure, water availability), or as the chemical composition, concentrations, and reactive properties of substances within the environment (e.g., pH, salinity, nutrient levels, oxygen content, toxins). These two categories are mutually exclusive in their primary domain of influence and together comprehensively cover all non-living conditions essential for life's immediate operations.
