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)
3
From: "Cognitive Sphere"
Split Justification: Cognition operates via deliberate, logical steps (**Analytical Processing**) and faster, intuitive pattern-matching (**Intuitive/Associative Processing**). (Ref: Dual Process Theory)
4
From: "Intuitive/Associative Processing"
Split Justification: Intuitive/associative processing fundamentally operates in two distinct, yet complementary, modes: either by rapidly identifying and utilizing pre-existing patterns and associations (often automatically and implicitly), or by forming new, non-obvious connections that lead to emergent insights and novel ideas. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how this cognitive function processes information.
5
From: "Pattern Matching & Implicit Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on direct sensory input (e.g., recognizing faces, sounds, immediate environmental threats) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on abstract meaning, categories, semantic knowledge, and higher-level schema (e.g., understanding language, social cues, expert intuition). These two categories delineate distinct levels of information abstraction in pattern processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how pre-existing patterns are implicitly identified and utilized.
6
From: "Conceptual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on abstract factual knowledge, semantic networks, and categories (knowing 'what' things are) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on skills, rules, and action sequences (knowing 'how' to do things). These two categories delineate distinct forms of conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
7
From: "Declarative Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on general knowledge, facts, and concepts independent of specific personal experience (e.g., knowing the capital of France) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on specific past events, personal experiences, and their associated contexts (e.g., recalling details of a specific birthday party). These two categories delineate distinct forms of declarative conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
8
From: "Semantic Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the inherent attributes, characteristics, and definitions that define individual concepts (e.g., recognizing 'a bird has feathers', 'a square has four equal sides') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the connections, classifications, and associations between different concepts within a broader semantic network (e.g., recognizing 'birds are a type of animal', 'squares are a type of polygon', 'the relationship between supply and demand'). These two categories comprehensively cover how general knowledge patterns are implicitly identified and activated, focusing either on the defining 'what' of a concept or its 'how it connects' to others.
9
From: "Intrinsic Conceptual Attributes"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the descriptive qualities, characteristics, or states that inherently define an individual concept (e.g., 'a bird is an animal', 'water is a liquid', 'happiness is an emotion') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the measurable properties, counts, or dimensions that inherently define an individual concept (e.g., 'a bird has two wings', 'water contains two hydrogen atoms', 'a triangle has three sides'). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how inherent attributes of a concept are implicitly identified and activated, distinguishing between its non-numeric descriptive features and its numeric or measurable features.
10
From: "Qualitative Intrinsic Attributes"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on descriptive qualities that define a concept's inherent nature, category, or essential properties (e.g., 'a bird is an animal', 'water is a liquid', 'happiness is an emotion', 'a square is a shape') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on descriptive qualities that define a concept's inherent value, significance, impact, or affective connotation (e.g., 'fire is dangerous', 'beauty is pleasing', 'justice is good', 'cold is chilling'). These two categories comprehensively cover how qualitative intrinsic attributes of a concept are implicitly identified and activated, distinguishing between its neutral defining characteristics and its evaluative or emotionally resonant features.
11
From: "Valuative/Affective Attributes"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on a concept's inherent worth, significance, utility, or impact (e.g., 'fire is dangerous', 'justice is good', 'this is important') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on a concept's inherent emotional, sensory, or feeling-based resonance (e.g., 'beauty is pleasing', 'cold is chilling', 'this sound is irritating'). These two categories comprehensively cover how implicit value and emotional qualities are identified, distinguishing between a cognitive assessment of worth/impact and a more direct experiential/feeling-based response.
12
From: "Valuative Attributes"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on a concept's inherent worth, significance, utility, or impact as related to its effectiveness, functionality, consequences, or relevance in achieving goals or causing practical effects (e.g., 'fire is dangerous', 'this tool is useful', 'that action is ineffective') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on a concept's inherent worth, significance, utility, or impact as related to its alignment with ethical principles, moral standards, or social norms (e.g., 'justice is good', 'lying is wrong', 'this behavior is unacceptable'). These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how implicit value attributes are identified, distinguishing between assessments of practical utility or impact and assessments of moral or normative correctness.
