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 Body Position and Movement"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of the body's configuration in space can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perception is of the body's static spatial arrangement at a given moment (e.g., the angle of a joint, the orientation of a limb) or of the dynamic change in that arrangement over time (e.g., the sensation of a limb swinging, the perceived speed of a motion, the effort expended in an action). These two categories are mutually exclusive as awareness focuses either on a state or a process, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious experience of the body in space is either about its position or its movement.
7
From: "Awareness of Body Position"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of body position can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perception is of the relative spatial arrangement and angles between different body parts (e.g., a bent knee, an arm extended relative to the torso) or of the overall spatial alignment and orientation of the body as a whole within its surrounding environment, particularly in relation to gravity (e.g., standing upright, body tilted forward, head oriented upwards). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as they focus on distinct referential frames (inter-segmental vs. whole-body-to-environment), and comprehensively exhaustive, as any static body position awareness falls into one of these two fundamental perceptual domains.
8
From: "Awareness of Segmental Configuration"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of segmental configuration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perception is primarily of the specific angular position, flexion, extension, or rotation occurring at individual joints (e.g., a bent elbow, a rotated wrist), or whether it is primarily of the overall spatial relationships, proximity, distance, or contact between distinct body segments (e.g., arms crossed, legs apart, hand near face). These two categories are mutually exclusive as one focuses on the intrinsic kinematic state of a joint, and the other on the extrinsic spatial arrangement between segments, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious awareness of segmental configuration fundamentally pertains to either the articulation of its joints or the resulting spatial inter-relationship of its parts.
9
From: "Awareness of Segmental Spatial Arrangement"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of the overall spatial relationships between body segments can be fundamentally divided based on whether the segments are perceived as being in direct physical contact with one another (e.g., hands clasped, arm resting on torso) or whether they are perceived as being spatially separated by some distance, varying from very close proximity to significant separation (e.g., arms held wide apart, fingers spread). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as segments are either touching or not touching, and comprehensively exhaustive, as any conscious perception of the spatial arrangement between body segments will fall into one of these two fundamental types of relationship.
10
From: "Awareness of Segmental Proximity and Distance"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of the proximity or distance between body segments can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perception is of the scalar quantity or extent of the separation (i.e., how much space there is between them, from very close to very far), or whether it is of the vectoral spatial relationship describing the relative orientation or position of one segment with respect to another across that intervening space. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as one focuses on the degree/scale of distance and the other on the specific directional arrangement of segments through that distance, and comprehensively exhaustive, as any conscious experience of non-contact segmental spatial relationships will encompass both how far apart they are and their relative orientation in that separated state.
11
From: "Awareness of the Directional Relationship of Separated Segments"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of the directional relationship between separated body segments can be fundamentally divided based on whether the perceived relationship is primarily along the vertical axis (i.e., above or below each other) or primarily within the horizontal plane (i.e., to the left/right or in front/behind each other). These two domains of spatial direction are mutually exclusive in their primary axis of reference and comprehensively exhaustive as all possible directional relationships between segments can be described by components within these two fundamental spatial dimensions.
12
From: "Awareness of Vertical Inter-Segmental Direction"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of vertical inter-segmental direction fundamentally involves perceiving one segment as being elevated relative to another or one segment as being depressed relative to another. These two categories are mutually exclusive as the primary referent for the vertical relationship in conscious awareness is either the segment positioned higher (describing its position "above" another) or the segment positioned lower (describing its position "below" another), establishing distinct directional perspectives. They are comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious perception of a vertical spatial relationship between two separated segments will necessarily involve one being higher and the other lower, and the awareness will be framed from one of these two fundamental perspectives.
