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: "Shared Meaning and Norms"
Split Justification: The node "Shared Meaning and Norms" encompasses both the collective cognitive frameworks by which a group understands and interprets the world (its 'meaning' and 'beliefs') and the collective evaluative and prescriptive frameworks that guide appropriate action and interaction (its 'values' and 'norms'). This split fundamentally divides these two aspects into a category focused on the descriptive understanding of reality and a category focused on the prescriptive principles and patterns of behavior within that reality.
7
From: "Shared Values and Behavioral Norms"
Split Justification: This node fundamentally comprises two distinct types of collective prescriptions: the abstract, guiding principles and ideals that a group deems good, desirable, or important (Shared Values), and the specific, often unwritten rules and expectations for conduct that dictate appropriate behavior in various situations (Shared Behavioral Norms). This split separates the underlying ethical/moral compass from its practical manifestations in collective conduct, creating a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division of the parent concept.
8
From: "Shared Values"
Split Justification: Shared Values, representing the abstract, guiding principles and ideals of a group, can be fundamentally divided into two categories: those that articulate the collective's ultimate goals, aspirations, and ideal conditions of existence (desired end-states), and those that define the collective's preferred styles, qualities, and ways of behaving that are deemed intrinsically good or correct (desired modes of conduct). This distinction is mutually exclusive, as an end-state is distinct from a mode of conduct, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of abstract collective ideals, without descending into specific behavioral rules which are covered by 'Shared Behavioral Norms'.
9
From: "Shared Desired Modes of Conduct"
Split Justification: All modes of conduct valued by a collective (within the scope of human interaction) are either primarily oriented towards regulating relationships and behaviors among its own members (intra-group), or towards guiding the collective's interactions with other human groups or individuals outside itself (inter-group). This division is mutually exclusive, as a mode of conduct's primary orientation is either internal or external to the group's human interactions, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering the full scope of a group's desired ways of human-related behaving.
10
From: "Shared Modes for Intra-Group Conduct"
Split Justification: All desired modes of conduct among group members are fundamentally oriented towards one of two mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive ends: either upholding the dignity, autonomy, and well-being of individual members (ensuring their personal flourishing within the collective), or fostering the unity, effectiveness, and shared objectives of the group as a whole (demanding collective contribution and cohesion). This dichotomy separates values based on their primary focus: the individual's thriving versus the group's collective thriving.
11
From: "Shared Modes for Individual Dignity and Personal Flourishing"
Split Justification: All shared modes of conduct aimed at ensuring individual dignity and personal flourishing within a group can be fundamentally categorized based on their primary orientation: either towards preventing the diminishment, violation, or restriction of an individual's inherent worth, freedom, and physical/psychological integrity (safeguarding), or towards actively promoting, cultivating, and enabling an individual's development, positive experiences, and optimal functioning (fostering). This dichotomy provides a mutually exclusive distinction between protective/preventative modes and proactive/enabling modes, comprehensively covering all aspects of upholding individual dignity and fostering personal flourishing.
12
From: "Shared Modes for Fostering Individual Growth and Well-being"
Split Justification: The collective modes of conduct aimed at actively promoting individual growth and well-being can be fundamentally divided based on whether they primarily focus on enhancing an individual's cognitive abilities, knowledge, and practical skills (intellectual and skill-based development), or on cultivating their positive emotional states, subjective experiences, and sense of meaning and satisfaction (emotional and experiential fulfillment). This dichotomy separates the fostering of an individual's capabilities and learning from the nurturing of their inner life and qualitative experience, ensuring mutual exclusivity and comprehensive coverage of the parent concept.
