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: "Interpreting Subjective Significance"
Split Justification: Humans interpret subjective significance from the non-human world in two fundamentally distinct ways: either through direct, immediate sensory and emotional engagement (e.g., experiencing beauty, awe, or comfort from nature or art), or through a more reflective, cognitive process of attributing abstract conceptual meaning, often through symbols, narratives, or existential contemplation (e.g., a landscape symbolizing freedom, an artifact representing heritage, the night sky evoking questions of purpose). These two modes are mutually exclusive in their primary focus (immediate reception versus reflective attribution) and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full spectrum of subjective engagement.
6
From: "Conceptual and Symbolic Meaning Attribution"
Split Justification: Humans attribute abstract conceptual and symbolic meaning to the non-human world through two fundamentally distinct avenues: either by drawing upon established collective human constructs, narratives, traditions, and historical contexts (sociocultural and historical frameworks), or by engaging in deeper, reflective inquiry into universal aspects of existence, purpose, and the human condition that transcend specific cultural bounds (existential and universal contemplation). These two modes are mutually exclusive, as the primary source and nature of the attributed meaning differ (contingent human constructs vs. transcendent philosophical inquiry), and together they comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans assign abstract conceptual and symbolic significance to the non-human world.
7
From: "Meaning from Sociocultural & Historical Frameworks"
Split Justification: Humans attribute meaning to the non-human world through sociocultural and historical frameworks in two fundamentally distinct ways: either primarily from the actively evolving, present-day shared understandings, values, and narratives within a specific society or culture, or predominantly from the accumulated weight of past events, collective memory, and inherited traditions that shape our understanding of heritage. These two modes represent distinct temporal and generative dimensions of collective meaning-making, yet together they comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans derive meaning from established sociocultural and historical frameworks.
8
From: "Meaning from Historical Legacy & Collective Memory"
Split Justification: Humans attribute meaning to the non-human world through historical legacy and collective memory in two fundamentally distinct ways: either primarily from verifiable, documented historical facts, specific past events, and archaeological evidence that directly relate to the non-human entity (e.g., its creation, a major event that occurred there), or predominantly from the intergenerational transmission of non-factual or evolving cultural stories, myths, symbolic practices, and traditional uses that imbue the non-human world with significance. These two modes represent distinct sources and natures of meaning attribution (evidence-based vs. tradition/narrative-based), yet together comprehensively cover the full scope of how the past influences the subjective interpretation of the non-human world.
9
From: "Meaning from Inherited Cultural Lore and Rituals"
Split Justification: Humans derive meaning from inherited cultural lore and rituals in two distinct ways: primarily through the conceptual content of passed-down narratives, myths, and explanations that describe the non-human world, or predominantly through the engagement with and participation in customary symbolic actions, ceremonies, and established practices related to the non-human world. These two modes are mutually exclusive, as one focuses on meaning attributed through transmitted stories and the other through performed actions, and together they comprehensively cover the scope of inherited cultural lore and rituals.
10
From: "Meaning from Customary Practices and Rituals"
Split Justification: Humans derive conceptual and symbolic meaning from customary practices and rituals in two distinct ways: either by attributing significance primarily to the act of performing the custom or ritual, focusing on the sensory engagement, the physical enactment, the feeling of continuity, and the embodied experience itself; or by deriving meaning from the explicit conceptual content, symbolic representations, underlying beliefs, or intended transformative outcomes that the practice or ritual is understood to convey or achieve. These two modes are mutually exclusive, as one emphasizes the meaning inherent in the direct, physical engagement and adherence to the form, while the other focuses on the conceptual message, purpose, or consequence represented by the practice, and together they comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans attribute meaning through customary practices and rituals.
11
From: "Meaning from Adherence and Embodied Performance"
Split Justification: Humans derive meaning from adherence and embodied performance in two fundamentally distinct ways: either by focusing on the subjective, internal, sensory, and motor experiences generated by the physical act itself, or by emphasizing the faithfulness, accuracy, and continuity of the performance relative to an inherited, established, or prescribed form or sequence. These two modes are mutually exclusive, as one centers on the internal phenomenology of the act and the other on its external structural correctness and its implications, and together they comprehensively cover the full scope of how humans find meaning through the direct act of performing customary practices and rituals.
12
From: "Meaning from Embodied Kinesthetic Experience"
Split Justification: Humans derive meaning from embodied kinesthetic experience in two fundamentally distinct ways: either by focusing on the internal awareness of the body's sensations, equilibrium, and position as it performs an action (the received sensory feedback), or by emphasizing the feeling of active engagement, exertion, force, and conscious control involved in the execution of the movement (the generated motor output and effort). These two modes are mutually exclusive, as one centers on the afferent, perceptive aspect of bodily experience and the other on the efferent, active aspect, and together they comprehensively cover the full scope of how meaning is derived from embodied kinesthetic experience.
