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 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 Discomfort or Deficiency"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of physiological discomfort or deficiency can be fundamentally categorized based on whether the primary subjective experience is that of pain—a specific, often highly aversive sensation signaling actual or potential tissue damage—or a distinct type of unpleasant physiological state or sensation of lack (e.g., hunger, thirst, fatigue, nausea, itch, dizziness). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a conscious sensation is primarily identified as either pain or not pain, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of physiological discomfort or deficiency fall into one of these two fundamental experiential types.
8
From: "Awareness of Non-Pain Physiological Discomfort or Deficiency"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of non-pain physiological discomfort or deficiency can be fundamentally categorized based on whether the primary experience signals a lack of essential bodily resources necessary for survival and function (e.g., hunger, thirst, fatigue, air hunger) or an unpleasant internal somatic state requiring the body to adapt, regulate, or eliminate something (e.g., nausea, itch, dizziness, urges to excrete, thermal discomfort). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an experience's primary driver is either a deficit of essential resources or a disruptive internal somatic condition, and comprehensively exhaustive as all non-pain physiological discomforts or deficiencies fall into one of these two fundamental experiential types.
9
From: "Awareness of Essential Resource Deficiency"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of essential resource deficiency can be fundamentally categorized based on whether the primary pathway to alleviate the deficiency involves acquiring and incorporating external substances (e.g., food, water, oxygen) into the body, or whether it primarily involves intrinsic bodily processes of regeneration, recovery, or cessation of activity (e.g., rest, sleep) to restore optimal internal states. These two categories are mutually exclusive as a deficiency is addressed either by external input or internal restoration, and comprehensively exhaustive as all essential resource deficiencies fall into one of these two fundamental means of resolution.
10
From: "Awareness of Deficiency Requiring Internal Restoration"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of deficiency requiring internal restoration can be fundamentally categorized based on whether the primary need is for a holistic, body-wide replenishment of energy, cognitive function, and overall systemic balance (e.g., sleep, general deep rest from exhaustion) or for the targeted repair, recovery, or regeneration of specific tissues, structures, or localized physiological functions that have been strained, depleted, or damaged (e.g., muscle recovery after exertion, localized healing processes). These two categories are mutually exclusive as the primary scope of the deficiency is either diffused across the entire system or concentrated in specific areas/functions, and comprehensively exhaustive as all internal restorative needs fall into one of these two fundamental types.
11
From: "Awareness of Deficiency Requiring Localized Structural and Functional Restoration"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of localized deficiencies requiring internal restoration can be fundamentally categorized based on whether the primary need is for the physical repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, cells, or anatomical structures (structural restoration) or for the replenishment of physiological resources, removal of metabolic byproducts, and recovery of optimal operational capacity of specific systems or processes, even in the absence of overt structural damage (functional restoration). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an awareness points primarily to either physical integrity or operational capacity, and comprehensively exhaustive as any localized internal restoration need will fundamentally fall into one of these two types.
12
From: "Awareness of Deficiency Requiring Localized Structural Restoration"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of localized deficiencies requiring structural restoration fundamentally relates to damage caused by either an external physical force, impact, or environmental exposure (trauma) or by internal biological processes, diseases, or degenerative conditions. These two categories are mutually exclusive as a specific instance of structural damage is primarily attributable to either an external cause or an internal pathological process, and comprehensively exhaustive as all localized structural damage requiring restoration stems from one of these two fundamental origins.
