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)

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 Internal Bodily States"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of internal bodily states can be fundamentally categorized as either perceptions related to the body's internal homeostatic balance, health, and drives (e.g., hunger, thirst, pain from organs, fatigue) or perceptions related to the body's physical configuration, posture, and locomotion in space (e.g., proprioception, kinesthesia, balance). These two categories are distinct in their primary sensory input and functional purpose, making them mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive for internal bodily awareness.
6
From: "Awareness of Body Position and Movement"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of the body's configuration in space can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perception is of the body's static spatial arrangement at a given moment (e.g., the angle of a joint, the orientation of a limb) or of the dynamic change in that arrangement over time (e.g., the sensation of a limb swinging, the perceived speed of a motion, the effort expended in an action). These two categories are mutually exclusive as awareness focuses either on a state or a process, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious experience of the body in space is either about its position or its movement.
7
From: "Awareness of Body Position"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of body position can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perception is of the relative spatial arrangement and angles between different body parts (e.g., a bent knee, an arm extended relative to the torso) or of the overall spatial alignment and orientation of the body as a whole within its surrounding environment, particularly in relation to gravity (e.g., standing upright, body tilted forward, head oriented upwards). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as they focus on distinct referential frames (inter-segmental vs. whole-body-to-environment), and comprehensively exhaustive, as any static body position awareness falls into one of these two fundamental perceptual domains.
8
From: "Awareness of Global Body Orientation"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of global body orientation can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perception is of the body's alignment and tilt relative to the vertical axis defined by gravity (e.g., upright, leaning, inverted) or of the body's rotational bearing or heading within the horizontal plane (e.g., facing forward, turned left, facing a specific direction). These two perceptual components are mutually exclusive, as one defines the body's relation to the up-down dimension and the other its relation to the left-right/forward-backward dimensions of its surroundings, and comprehensively exhaustive, as together they fully describe any static global body orientation.
9
From: "Awareness of Horizontal Direction"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of horizontal direction can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perception refers to the body's orientation relative to its own internal axes and prior states (e.g., feeling 'forward' relative to my personal sense of alignment, or 'turned left' from a previous body orientation) or whether it refers to the body's orientation relative to external landmarks, environmental features, or absolute directions (e.g., facing the door, facing North, oriented towards a specific object). These two categories are mutually exclusive as the primary frame of reference for the directional awareness is either the self or the external world, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious experience of horizontal direction must rely on one of these fundamental frames of reference.
10
From: "Awareness of Environment-Centered Horizontal Direction"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of environment-centered horizontal direction can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary reference is an abstract, global, or fixed coordinate system (e.g., cardinal directions like North, East, general solar position) or whether it is a specific, discrete, and tangible object or feature within the immediate perceived environment (e.g., a door, a building, a specific tree). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the reference frame is either a generalized, abstract system or a particular, concrete entity. They are comprehensively exhaustive, as any external horizontal orientation awareness must derive from one of these two fundamental types of environmental references.
11
From: "Awareness of Absolute Horizontal Direction"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of absolute horizontal direction is fundamentally derived from either properties intrinsic to the Earth itself (e.g., its magnetic poles, geographical axes defining cardinal directions) or from the positions and movements of celestial bodies (e.g., the sun's path, fixed stars). These two categories represent distinct primary sources for establishing an absolute horizontal frame of reference, making them mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive for this domain of awareness.
12
From: "Awareness of Earth-Referenced Absolute Horizontal Direction"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of horizontal direction derived from properties intrinsic to the Earth can be fundamentally divided based on whether it is referenced to the Earth's rotational axis and geographic poles (defining geographic cardinal directions) or to the Earth's magnetic field (defining magnetic cardinal directions). These two systems are distinct in their physical origin, mutually exclusive as primary sources of definition, and comprehensively exhaustive as the fundamental Earth-based means of establishing absolute horizontal direction.
