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: "Olfactory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of olfactory patterns derived from living organisms or their direct biological processes/products (e.g., pheromones, food sources, predator scents, signs of health or disease) from those derived from non-living matter or physicochemical environmental processes (e.g., minerals, industrial chemicals, smoke, ozone, geological phenomena). This distinction is crucial as these two categories of olfactory stimuli often carry inherently different ecological, survival, and social significance, driving distinct adaptive responses and pattern activations, thereby comprehensively covering all sources of olfactory input.
11
From: "Biological Source Olfactory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of olfactory patterns derived from organisms of the same species as the perceiver (intraspecific cues, e.g., pheromones, kin recognition, social status, individual identity) from those derived from organisms of a different species (interspecific cues, e.g., predator detection, prey identification, food source location, pathogen presence, host-parasite interactions). These two categories comprehensively cover all biologically-sourced olfactory information by differentiating based on the fundamental biological relationship between the scent producer and the scent perceiver.
12
From: "Interspecific Biological Olfactory Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of interspecific olfactory patterns that signal potential benefit, resource availability, or advantageous interaction (leading to approach behaviors) from those that signal potential harm, threat, or disadvantageous interaction (leading to avoidance or defensive behaviors). These two categories comprehensively cover the adaptive significance and resulting behavioral drives for all interspecific biological olfactory pattern matching and activation.
