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: "Social Systems and Structures"
Split Justification: All social systems and structures can be fundamentally categorized by whether their rules, roles, and organization are explicitly codified, institutionalized, and formally enforced (formal systems), or are unwritten, emergent, culturally embedded, and maintained through custom, tradition, and implicit social pressure (informal systems). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a system's primary mode of operation is either formal or informal, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all aspects of collective human organization.
5
From: "Informal Social Systems"
Split Justification: All informal social systems can be fundamentally divided into two mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive categories: those focused on the collective, unwritten understandings, values, beliefs, traditions, and customs that guide behavior (Shared Meaning and Norms), and those focused on the spontaneous, interactional processes and structures of influence, status, reputation, and cohesion that arise within groups (Emergent Social Dynamics). One describes the content and collective interpretation of the informal system, while the other describes the interactive mechanisms and relational outcomes.
6
From: "Emergent Social Dynamics"
Split Justification: ** All emergent social dynamics can be fundamentally divided into the active, ongoing processes of interaction that generate them (such as influence attempts, social signaling, and reciprocal exchanges) and the more stable, patterned configurations that arise as a result of these interactions (such as informal hierarchies, established reputations, and levels of group cohesion). This dichotomy separates the real-time unfolding mechanisms of social activity from the patterned outcomes that define informal social organization, ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive exhaustion.
7
From: "Dynamic Interactional Processes"
Split Justification: All dynamic interactional processes can be fundamentally divided into those primarily focused on establishing, conveying, and interpreting shared meaning, symbols, and social understanding among participants, and those primarily focused on actively influencing others' behaviors, states, or coordinating actions to achieve collective or interdependent outcomes. This dichotomy distinguishes between the interpretive and communicative aspects of interaction and the action-oriented, consequential aspects, ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive exhaustion.
8
From: "Shared Meaning and Social Understanding Processes"
Split Justification: All processes involved in establishing, conveying, and interpreting shared meaning and social understanding fundamentally consist of two mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive roles: the active formulation and outward transmission of meaning, symbols, or cues by a sender (encoding and expression), and the active reception and cognitive processing to discern that meaning by a receiver (decoding and interpretation). This dichotomy covers the complete interactive loop necessary for collective understanding within dynamic social interactions.
9
From: "Meaning Encoding and Expression Processes"
Split Justification: All processes of encoding and expressing meaning fundamentally rely on either the structured use of language and linguistic symbols (verbal communication) or on non-linguistic cues such as body language, facial expressions, gestures, and paralinguistic elements (non-verbal communication). These two distinct systems, while often integrated in real-time interaction, represent mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive channels and mechanisms for the outward transmission of meaning.
10
From: "Non-Verbal Meaning Encoding and Expression"
Split Justification: All processes of non-verbal meaning encoding and expression can be fundamentally divided based on whether the meaning is conveyed through the active use of the sender's own physical body and vocal apparatus (excluding spoken language), or through the sender's deliberate arrangement, manipulation, or presentation of elements external to their immediate physical self, such as objects, time, or the surrounding environment. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a non-verbal cue originates from either the direct physical self or from external factors managed by the self, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all known channels for the active non-verbal transmission of meaning.
11
From: "Contextual and Material Expression"
Split Justification: All contextual and material expression can be fundamentally divided based on whether meaning is primarily conveyed through the deliberate arrangement and presentation of tangible physical elements such as objects and spatial configurations, or through the management and signaling via the use of time and the broader, often more abstract, situational context of an interaction. This dichotomy separates expression that utilizes concrete physical elements from expression that relies on temporal sequencing and the framing of circumstances, ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive exhaustion of how external factors convey meaning.
12
From: "Material and Spatial Expression"
Split Justification: All forms of material and spatial expression fundamentally convey meaning through either the choice, presence, presentation, and attributes of tangible objects and artifacts themselves, or through the deliberate arrangement, distance, and organization of individuals and objects within a given physical space. This dichotomy provides a mutually exclusive distinction between the communicative role of 'what' physical items are involved and 'how' those items and entities are structured and positioned in their environment, thereby comprehensively exhausting the scope of material and spatial non-verbal communication.
