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: "Cognitive Sphere"
Split Justification: Cognition operates via deliberate, logical steps (**Analytical Processing**) and faster, intuitive pattern-matching (**Intuitive/Associative Processing**). (Ref: Dual Process Theory)
4
From: "Analytical Processing"
Split Justification: Analytical thought engages distinct symbolic systems: abstract logic and mathematics (**Quantitative/Logical Reasoning**) versus structured language (**Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning**).
5
From: "Quantitative/Logical Reasoning"
Split Justification: Logical reasoning can be strictly formal following rules of inference (**Deductive Proof**) or drawing general conclusions from specific examples (**Inductive Reasoning Case Study**). (L5 Split)
6
From: "Deductive Proof."
Split Justification: Deductive systems can be analyzed based on the relationship between whole statements (**Propositional Logic**) or the properties of objects and their relations (**Predicate Logic**). (L6 Split)
7
From: "Propositional Logic"
Split Justification: Propositional logic involves determining the validity of arguments (**Truth Table Construction**) and applying rules of inference (**Using Modus Ponens/Tollens**).
8
From: "Using Modus Ponens/Tollens"
Split Justification: The parent node explicitly refers to two distinct forms of deductive inference. This split separates the application of Modus Ponens (affirming the antecedent) from the application of Modus Tollens (denying the consequent), which are the two fundamental and mutually exclusive inferential mechanisms described by the parent concept. Together, they comprehensively cover the scope of the parent node.
9
From: "Using Modus Tollens"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the active generation of a Modus Tollens deduction (constructing) from the interpretation, evaluation, or identification of an existing or proposed Modus Tollens deduction (analyzing), comprehensively covering the ways one 'uses' this logical form.
10
From: "Analyzing Modus Tollens Inferences"
Split Justification: This split differentiates between evaluating the logical structure of a Modus Tollens inference (whether the conclusion necessarily follows from the premises based on the argument form, irrespective of their factual truth) and evaluating the factual or semantic truth values of the individual propositions (P, Q, ¬P, ¬Q) that constitute the inference. This covers both syntactic (form) and semantic (content/truth) aspects of inference analysis.
11
From: "Analyzing Material Truth of Modus Tollens Propositions"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between the two fundamental approaches to determining the material truth of a proposition: through direct observation, experimentation, and sensory experience (empirical), or through logical necessity, definitions, and conceptual coherence independent of external observation (analytic). These methods are mutually exclusive for a proposition's primary justification and comprehensively cover all potential sources for ascertaining the material truth of any proposition, including those found within Modus Tollens arguments.
12
From: "Analyzing Empirical Truth of Propositions"
Split Justification: The analysis of empirical truth fundamentally relies on gathering evidence from the real world. This gathering occurs either through passive observation of existing phenomena or through active experimentation involving the manipulation of variables. These two approaches are distinct and collectively encompass all primary methods of empirical data acquisition for propositional truth assessment.
