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: "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 External Bodily Interactions"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences focused on external interactions can be fundamentally categorized by whether the body is actively initiating and controlling the interaction with the environment (e.g., touching, grasping, applying pressure, manipulating objects) or whether it is passively receiving stimuli or impacts from the external environment (e.g., being touched, feeling ambient temperature, experiencing external pressure or impact). This distinction precisely separates experiences by the primary locus of agency in the interaction, making the categories mutually exclusive, and together they cover the entire scope of awareness of external bodily interactions, thus being comprehensively exhaustive.
6
From: "Awareness of Active External Bodily Engagement"
Split Justification: Active external bodily engagement can be fundamentally divided based on whether the conscious somatic experience primarily concerns the body's self-initiated movement through space and its dynamic orientation within the broader environment, or whether it primarily concerns the body's direct, focused interaction with and manipulation of specific external objects or surfaces. These two domains are mutually exclusive as the primary locus of active somatic awareness is either the body's global relationship to its environment or its localized interaction with discrete external entities. Together, they comprehensively cover all forms of awareness of active external bodily engagement.
7
From: "Awareness of Active Self-Locomotion and Body-Environment Orientation"
Split Justification: The conscious awareness involved in active self-locomotion and body-environment orientation can be fundamentally divided based on whether it primarily concerns the body's intrinsic physiological feedback about the ongoing movement itself (e.g., proprioception, kinesthesia, effort, internal sense of speed or rhythm) or whether it primarily concerns the interpretation and utilization of external environmental cues to guide movement, maintain balance relative to surroundings, and understand one's position within the broader space (e.g., visual input for navigation, vestibular input for direction and stability). These two domains are mutually exclusive as they represent distinct primary focuses of conscious sensory processing – one internal to the body's moving structure, the other external to the body's boundary but informing its spatial action. Together, they comprehensively cover all aspects of conscious awareness related to active movement through and orientation within an environment.
8
From: "Awareness of External Spatial Navigation and Orientation"
Split Justification: ** Awareness of External Spatial Navigation and Orientation can be fundamentally divided based on whether the external environmental cues are primarily processed for immediate, dynamic adjustments to movement and balance within the currently perceived environment, or whether they are primarily utilized to construct and reference a more abstract, overarching understanding of one's position and planned trajectory within a larger spatial context. These two categories are mutually exclusive as they distinguish between immediate motor control and higher-level cognitive spatial understanding, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of external spatial awareness for navigation and orientation fall into one of these two domains.
9
From: "Awareness of Real-time Environmental Cues for Movement Control"
Split Justification: Awareness of Real-time Environmental Cues for Movement Control can be fundamentally divided based on whether the awareness of these cues is primarily utilized to actively direct the body's progression through the environment, guiding its path, trajectory, and enabling interaction with specific features like obstacles or targets, or whether it is primarily utilized to maintain the body's upright posture, equilibrium, and stability in response to gravitational forces, self-motion, and changes in the support surface. These two categories are mutually exclusive as they address distinct, though often concurrent, functional objectives of real-time motor control, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of awareness of real-time environmental cues for movement control fall into one of these two fundamental purposes.
10
From: "Awareness of Cues for Real-time Path Guidance and Environmental Interaction"
Split Justification: Awareness of Cues for Real-time Path Guidance and Environmental Interaction can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary purpose of processing these cues is to prevent contact with, or steer away from, undesirable environmental features (obstacles, hazards, boundaries), or whether the primary purpose is to direct movement towards, make contact with, or navigate along desirable environmental features (targets, paths, intended surfaces). These two categories are mutually exclusive as they represent opposite functional objectives in real-time movement control, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious utilization of environmental cues for path guidance or interaction will serve one of these two fundamental aims.
11
From: "Awareness of Cues for Approaching Targets and Desired Paths"
Split Justification: Awareness of Cues for Approaching Targets and Desired Paths can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary purpose of processing these cues is to guide the body towards making contact with or reaching proximity to a specific, discrete object or endpoint, or whether it is primarily focused on guiding the body along and maintaining adherence to a continuous, defined trajectory or spatial region. These two categories are mutually exclusive as they represent distinct functional objectives regarding either a singular point of arrival or an extended course of movement, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of conscious utilization of environmental cues for approaching desired outcomes will involve one of these two fundamental aims.
12
From: "Awareness of Cues for Approaching Discrete Targets"
Split Justification: Awareness of Cues for Approaching Discrete Targets can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary purpose of processing these cues is to guide the body towards achieving direct physical contact with or manipulation of the target, or whether it is primarily focused on guiding the body to a specific spatial relationship or proximity with the target without making physical contact. These two categories are mutually exclusive as an approach's primary objective is either contact or non-contact, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of conscious utilization of environmental cues for approaching discrete targets will involve one of these two fundamental aims.
