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 Passive External Bodily Reception"
Split Justification: All conscious experiences of passive external bodily reception can be fundamentally divided based on whether they arise from direct physical forces causing deformation of the body's surface (e.g., touch, pressure, vibration) or from environmental properties (temperature, chemical presence) and potentially harmful stimuli (pain from external sources, regardless of its primary cause). This creates two categories that are mutually exclusive in their primary sensory modality and comprehensively exhaustive for all such passive receptions.
7
From: "Awareness of External Thermal, Chemical, and Noxious Stimuli"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of external thermal, chemical, and noxious stimuli can be fundamentally divided based on whether the stimulus's primary characteristic is its capacity to cause pain, discomfort, or potential harm (noxious) or if it primarily conveys information about temperature or chemical presence without being noxious. This distinction provides two mutually exclusive categories based on the presence or absence of a noxious component in the stimulus's effect, and together they comprehensively cover all forms of external thermal, chemical, and noxious stimulation.
8
From: "Awareness of External Noxious Stimuli"
Split Justification: All awareness of external noxious stimuli can be fundamentally divided based on whether the stimulus causes or threatens tissue damage through direct physical deformation or disruption (mechanical forces) or through extreme temperature changes or chemical interactions at a molecular level. This categorizes all noxious stimuli by their primary physical or chemical mechanism of action on bodily tissues, making the distinction mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive.
9
From: "Awareness of External Mechanically Induced Noxious Stimuli"
Split Justification: All awareness of external mechanically induced noxious stimuli can be fundamentally divided based on whether the mechanical force causes a physical breach or discontinuity in the body's tissues (e.g., a cut, puncture, or tear) or whether it primarily causes deformation, compression, or stretching of tissues while their integrity remains intact (e.g., a bruise, sprain, or crushing injury without a surface wound). This distinction is mutually exclusive as an injury either breaches tissue integrity or it does not, and comprehensively exhaustive for all forms of mechanically induced noxious stimuli.
10
From: "Awareness of External Mechanically Induced Noxious Stimuli from Tissue Integrity Breach"
Split Justification: All awareness of external mechanically induced noxious stimuli from tissue integrity breach can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary characteristic of the breach is the physical separation or splitting of tissue along a plane (division) or the physical removal and absence of tissue from the body (loss). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an injury is primarily characterized by one or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of tissue integrity breach fall into one of these fundamental classifications.
11
From: "Awareness of External Mechanically Induced Noxious Stimuli from Tissue Loss"
Split Justification: ** All awareness of external mechanically induced noxious stimuli from tissue loss can be fundamentally divided based on whether the tissue is physically separated and removed from the body as a distinct entity (severance) or whether it is broken down, worn away, or pulverized in situ by the mechanical force (disintegration). These two categories represent distinct mechanisms of tissue loss, making them mutually exclusive, and together they cover all forms of mechanically induced tissue loss, thus being comprehensively exhaustive.
12
From: "Awareness of External Mechanically Induced Noxious Stimuli from Tissue Severance"
Split Justification: All awareness of external mechanically induced noxious stimuli from tissue severance can be fundamentally divided based on whether the mechanical force primarily acts to cleanly cut or shear through tissues (incisive/shearing) or to rip or tear them apart through avulsion. This distinction categorizes the fundamental mode of mechanical action leading to tissue severance, making the categories mutually exclusive as a severance event is predominantly characterized by one or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of mechanical tissue severance fall into one of these two mechanisms.
