1
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: "Personal Relationships"
Split Justification: Personal relationships can be fundamentally divided based on whether their primary origin is an unchosen, inherent bond (such as family or blood ties) or a volitional, chosen connection based on mutual interests, affection, or shared values. This dichotomy accounts for all personal bonds.
5
From: "Kinship and Familial Relationships"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between family relationships primarily established through shared ancestry or bloodlines (kinship by descent) and those formed through marriage, adoption, or other social and legal compacts (kinship by alliance). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of inherent and familial bonds.
6
From: "Kinship by Descent"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between kin relationships established in a direct line of ascent or descent (e.g., parent-child, grandparent-grandchild) and those who share a common ancestor but are not in a direct lineal relationship (e.g., siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles). This classification provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of kinship by descent.
7
From: "Collateral Kinship"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin who share the same generational level as the ego (e.g., siblings, cousins) and those who belong to a different generation (e.g., aunts/uncles, nieces/nephews). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of collateral kinship.
8
From: "Collateral Kin of the Same Generation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between collateral kin of the same generation who share the same immediate parents as the ego (siblings) and those who share common ancestors further back in the lineage, such as grandparents or great-grandparents (cousins). This division is mutually exclusive and comprehensively accounts for all collateral kin of the same generation.
9
From: "Siblings"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between siblings who share both biological parents (full siblings) and those who share only one biological parent (half siblings). This division is mutually exclusive and comprehensively accounts for all biological sibling relationships defined by shared descent.
10
From: "Half Siblings"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes half-siblings based on which specific biological parent they share (the mother or the father), providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of half-sibling relationships by descent.
11
From: "Maternal Half Siblings"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes maternal half-siblings based on whether the biological paternity for *all* siblings in the pair is traceable to an identified individual, or if the biological paternity for *at least one* sibling in the pair originates from an anonymous source (e.g., anonymous sperm donor). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of maternal half-sibling relationships by descent, focusing on the identifiability of the non-shared paternal ancestry.
12
From: "Maternal Half Siblings with Anonymous Paternity"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes maternal half-siblings with anonymous paternity based on whether both of the non-shared biological fathers are anonymous, or if only one of the non-shared biological fathers is anonymous (implying the other is identified). This provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division for all forms of maternal half-sibling relationships where at least one paternity is anonymous.
