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 Physiological Needs and States"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of physiological needs and states fundamentally relates to either a deviation from homeostasis, indicating a problem, lack, or threat (physiological discomfort or deficiency), or the successful maintenance or restoration of homeostasis, indicating well-being or met needs (physiological comfort or sufficiency). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a sensation cannot simultaneously signal a problem and its resolution, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious physiological state will fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
7
From: "Awareness of Physiological Comfort or Sufficiency"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of physiological comfort or sufficiency can be fundamentally divided based on whether the sensation is primarily focused on the resolution or cessation of a previously experienced or anticipated physiological deficiency, discomfort, or need (e.g., satiety from hunger, feeling rested from fatigue, pain subsiding), or whether it is focused on the presence of a positive, optimal, or thriving physiological state independent of immediate prior deficiency (e.g., sensations of vitality, robust health, deep physical ease, pleasant warmth not related to overcoming cold). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an awareness's primary referent is either a state of relief or an independent state of positive well-being, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of physiological comfort or sufficiency will fall into one of these two fundamental experiential categories.
8
From: "Awareness of Intrinsic Physiological Well-being"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of intrinsic physiological well-being can be fundamentally divided based on whether it is primarily experienced as an abundance of energetic capacity, aliveness, and vigor (physiological vitality) or as a profound state of internal calm, balance, and deep ease (physiological equanimity). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a sensation's dominant quality is either dynamic energetic flow or static internal harmony, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of positive, thriving physiological states will primarily manifest as one of these two fundamental experiential qualities.
9
From: "Awareness of Physiological Vitality"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of physiological vitality can be fundamentally divided based on whether it is primarily experienced as the body's robust capacity for physical exertion, resilience, and sustained energetic output (physiological strength and stamina) or as a felt sense of inner lightness, effervescence, and vibrant aliveness (physiological buoyancy and vibrancy). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a sensation's dominant quality is either its powerful physical capability or its sparkling inner animation, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of abundant physiological energy, aliveness, and vigor will primarily manifest as one of these two fundamental experiential qualities.
10
From: "Awareness of Physiological Strength and Stamina"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of physiological strength and stamina can be fundamentally divided based on whether the experience is primarily focused on the body's capacity for maximal or explosive force generation and intense exertion (physiological force and power) or on its capacity for prolonged effort, resistance to fatigue, and sustained activity over time (physiological endurance and resilience). These two categories are mutually exclusive as they describe distinct manifestations of physical capability (peak intensity vs. duration/resistance to fatigue), and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of robust physiological capacity for exertion and sustained output fall into one of these two fundamental experiential qualities.
11
From: "Awareness of Sustained Physical Endurance and Resilience"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of sustained physical endurance and resilience can be fundamentally divided based on whether the experience is primarily focused on the body's capacity to actively maintain prolonged physical exertion or activity over time (sustained effort and stamina), or on its intrinsic capacity to resist the onset of fatigue, withstand ongoing stressors, and effectively recover from demanding physical states (resistance to fatigue and recovery). These two categories are mutually exclusive as one emphasizes active persistence while the other emphasizes intrinsic robustness and recovery, and comprehensively exhaustive as all aspects of sustained physical capacity fall into one of these two fundamental experiential dimensions.
12
From: "Awareness of Sustained Effort and Stamina"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of sustained effort and stamina can be fundamentally divided based on whether the experience is primarily focused on the ongoing physiological work and output involved in actively maintaining exertion over time (active maintenance of exertion), or on the internal sensation of the body's intrinsic ability and perceived reserves to continue that activity for an extended duration (body's capacity for prolonged activity). These two categories are mutually exclusive as one represents the active expenditure and the other the underlying potential or resource, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious experience of sustained effort and stamina will encompass either the act of sustaining or the felt capacity to do so.
