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: "Intuitive/Associative Processing"
Split Justification: Intuitive/associative processing fundamentally operates in two distinct, yet complementary, modes: either by rapidly identifying and utilizing pre-existing patterns and associations (often automatically and implicitly), or by forming new, non-obvious connections that lead to emergent insights and novel ideas. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how this cognitive function processes information.
5
From: "Pattern Matching & Implicit Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on direct sensory input (e.g., recognizing faces, sounds, immediate environmental threats) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on abstract meaning, categories, semantic knowledge, and higher-level schema (e.g., understanding language, social cues, expert intuition). These two categories delineate distinct levels of information abstraction in pattern processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how pre-existing patterns are implicitly identified and utilized.
6
From: "Perceptual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from external sensory input (e.g., visual scenes, sounds, tactile sensations from the environment) from those derived from internal bodily sensations (e.g., proprioception, interoception, vestibular sense). These two categories comprehensively cover all sources of direct sensory input for pattern processing.
7
From: "Exteroceptive Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from senses that perceive stimuli at a distance (e.g., vision, audition for environmental scanning and distant object recognition) from those that require direct physical contact or very close proximity (e.g., touch, taste, smell for immediate object properties and direct interaction). These two categories comprehensively cover all sources of exteroceptive sensory input by distinguishing between information gathered about the broader, remote environment and information gathered through immediate, close-range interaction with objects or substances.
8
From: "Proximal Exteroceptive Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from proximal senses that detect chemical stimuli (e.g., taste, smell for identifying substances or their presence) from those that detect physical and mechanical stimuli (e.g., touch for identifying textures, pressure, temperature, or physical contact). These two categories comprehensively cover all forms of proximal exteroceptive pattern processing.
9
From: "Chemical Proximal Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns derived from chemical stimuli detected by taste receptors (gustation) from those derived from chemical stimuli detected by olfactory receptors (olfaction). These two distinct chemosensory systems comprehensively cover the scope of proximal chemical pattern processing and activation.
10
From: "Gustatory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of gustatory patterns that implicitly activate an ingestive response (indicating nutritional benefit or essential compounds) from those that implicitly activate a rejective or avoidance response (indicating potential harm or unsuitability). These two categories comprehensively cover the primary, biologically significant functions of gustatory pattern matching and activation.
11
From: "Gustatory Pattern Matching for Ingestive Potential"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of gustatory patterns that signal the availability of bulk energy sources and building blocks (e.g., carbohydrates via sweetness, proteins via umami) from those that signal the presence of essential regulatory compounds and specific vital nutrients (e.g., electrolytes via saltiness, certain vitamins via sourness). These two categories comprehensively cover the primary biologically significant types of beneficial ingestible substances identified through taste.
12
From: "Gustatory Pattern Matching for Micronutrient & Electrolyte Ingestibility"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of gustatory patterns that signal the availability of essential organic micronutrients (vitamins) from those that signal the presence of essential inorganic micronutrients (minerals and electrolytes). These two categories comprehensively cover the primary biologically significant types of beneficial micronutrients and electrolytes identified through taste, distinguishing between their fundamental organic versus inorganic chemical nature.
