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 External Bodily Interactions"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences focused on external interactions can be fundamentally categorized by whether the body is actively initiating and controlling the interaction with the environment (e.g., touching, grasping, applying pressure, manipulating objects) or whether it is passively receiving stimuli or impacts from the external environment (e.g., being touched, feeling ambient temperature, experiencing external pressure or impact). This distinction precisely separates experiences by the primary locus of agency in the interaction, making the categories mutually exclusive, and together they cover the entire scope of awareness of external bodily interactions, thus being comprehensively exhaustive.
6
From: "Awareness of Active External Bodily Engagement"
Split Justification: Active external bodily engagement can be fundamentally divided based on whether the conscious somatic experience primarily concerns the body's self-initiated movement through space and its dynamic orientation within the broader environment, or whether it primarily concerns the body's direct, focused interaction with and manipulation of specific external objects or surfaces. These two domains are mutually exclusive as the primary locus of active somatic awareness is either the body's global relationship to its environment or its localized interaction with discrete external entities. Together, they comprehensively cover all forms of awareness of active external bodily engagement.
7
From: "Awareness of Active Object and Surface Manipulation"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects and surfaces can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness of the manipulation is directed towards gathering sensory information about the object's inherent properties (e.g., feeling its texture, shape, temperature, weight) or towards performing an action to achieve a specific external outcome or effect a change in the object or environment (e.g., writing, building, lifting, operating tools). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the predominant purpose of the active somatic engagement at any given moment aligns with either exploring for information or acting for a goal, and together they comprehensively cover the entire scope of awareness of active object and surface manipulation.
8
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Sensory Exploration"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects and surfaces for sensory exploration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness is directed towards gathering sensory information about the object's inherent properties that are perceived at its direct interface or superficial layer (e.g., texture, temperature, localized pressure, vibration), or towards properties that describe its overall structural, spatial, or material characteristics, often requiring bodily movement, grasp, and integration of sensory inputs (e.g., shape, size, weight, rigidity, contours, spatial orientation). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive as the primary informational focus of the active manipulation aligns with either surface qualities or integrated structural qualities, and comprehensively exhaustive as all inherent object properties explored through active manipulation fall into one of these two fundamental categories of haptic information.
9
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Surface-Level Haptic Qualities"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects for surface-level haptic exploration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary information gathered relates to the inherent physical arrangement, textural properties, or mechanical resistance of the surface material (e.g., texture, hardness/softness, friction, localized deformation), or whether it relates to the dynamic energetic states, such as its thermal condition, or rapid mechanical oscillations present at the surface (e.g., temperature, vibration). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the predominant haptic focus is either on the static or resistant material structure, or on its dynamic energetic/oscillatory properties. Together, they comprehensively cover the entire scope of surface-level haptic qualities explored through active manipulation.
10
From: "Awareness of Surface Thermal and Oscillatory States"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects for surface-level thermal and oscillatory exploration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness is directed towards the object's temperature and its thermal properties (e.g., hot, cold, warm, thermal conductivity) or towards the object's dynamic mechanical vibrations and oscillations (e.g., frequency, amplitude, pattern of vibration). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as thermal perception relies on thermoreceptors responding to temperature changes, while oscillatory perception relies on mechanoreceptors responding to rapid mechanical displacements. Together, they comprehensively cover all forms of awareness of surface thermal and oscillatory states explored through active manipulation.
11
From: "Awareness of Surface Thermal States"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects for surface-level thermal exploration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness is directed towards the object's inherent temperature state (its specific degree of hotness or coldness relative to the body) or towards its properties that govern the rate and ease of heat transfer between the object and the body (e.g., its thermal conductivity). These two categories are mutually exclusive as the predominant focus of awareness is either on the static thermal state or the dynamic thermal interaction, and comprehensively exhaustive as all aspects of surface thermal exploration fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
12
From: "Awareness of Object's Thermal Conductivity"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects to understand their thermal conductivity can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness is directed towards the rapidity with which heat is transferred to or from the body upon contact, leading to a quick or slow onset of thermal sensation, or towards the inherent efficiency or effectiveness of the material in facilitating that heat transfer, manifesting as the perceived strength or power of the thermal exchange. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as one describes the temporal characteristic of the conductive interaction and the other describes the material's intrinsic capacity for heat transfer, as perceived. Together, they comprehensively cover the experiential dimensions through which an object's thermal conductivity is consciously perceived through active manipulation.
