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: "Collateral Kinship"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin who share the same generational level as the ego (e.g., siblings, cousins) and those who belong to a different generation (e.g., aunts/uncles, nieces/nephews). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship.
8
From: "Collateral Kin of Different Generations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin who belong to a generation older than the ego (e.g., aunts/uncles) and those who belong to a generation younger than the ego (e.g., nieces/nephews). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship of different generations.
9
From: "Collateral Kin of Descending Generations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin who belong to the first descending generation relative to the ego (e.g., nieces/nephews) and those who belong to any subsequent descending generations (e.g., grandnieces/grandnephews). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship of descending generations.
10
From: "Collateral Kin in Further Descending Generations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin who belong to the second descending generation relative to the ego (e.g., grandnieces/grandnephews) and those who belong to any subsequent descending generations (e.g., great-grandnieces/great-grandnephews). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship in further descending generations.
11
From: "Collateral Kin in the Second Descending Generation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin in the second descending generation based on whether they are the grandchildren of the ego's brother or the grandchildren of the ego's sister. This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship in the second descending generation.
12
From: "Grandchildren of Ego's Brother"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between the grandchildren of Ego's brother based on the gender of their direct parent, who is Ego's brother's child. This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all individuals classified as grandchildren of Ego's brother.
