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: "Chosen and Affinitive Relationships"
Split Justification: All chosen and affinitive relationships can be fundamentally categorized by the presence or absence of a romantic and/or sexual dimension. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a relationship either encompasses these elements or it does not, and it is comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of chosen bonds from intimate romantic partnerships to platonic friendships, mentorships, and other volitional connections based on shared interests or values.
6
From: "Non-Romantic Affinitive Relationships"
Split Justification: All non-romantic affinitive relationships can be fundamentally distinguished by whether their primary focus is the direct, personal bond, mutual support, and shared experience between individuals (companionship), or if it centers on a common external objective, a specific shared activity, or the exchange of skills and knowledge (purpose or activity). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a relationship's core driver is one or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of non-romantic chosen connections.
7
From: "Personal Companionship Relationships"
Split Justification: All personal companionship relationships fundamentally vary in the depth of emotional intimacy, vulnerability, and shared life experiences. Some connections are characterized by profound trust, extensive mutual support, and a central role in an individual's life, while others focus on broader social interaction, shared interests, and less intensive emotional engagement. This dichotomy comprehensively divides all personal companionship based on the intensity and scope of the bond.
8
From: "General Social Companionship"
Split Justification: All general social companionship fundamentally divides into bonds that are primarily focused on direct, reciprocal, albeit casual, connections between specific individuals (Individualized Social Ties), versus those that are primarily derived from one's participation in or presence within a broader group, community, or shared social environment, leading to more diffuse social engagement and a sense of belonging (Group and Community Social Bonds). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a given social companionship manifests predominantly in one form or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all facets of general social interaction that are less intensive than intimate companionship.
9
From: "Group and Community Social Bonds"
Split Justification: All Group and Community Social Bonds fundamentally divide based on whether the primary mode of connection is through active, often organized, participation within a specific group, or through a broader sense of identification and belonging to a community based on shared identity, location, or characteristics. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a given bond primarily emphasizes one form of engagement over the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all ways individuals experience social connection within groups and communities.
10
From: "Bonds of Community Belonging and Affiliation"
Split Justification: All Bonds of Community Belonging and Affiliation fundamentally divide based on whether the primary source of connection and identification is a shared personal identity, common characteristics, or mutual attributes among individuals, or a shared connection to and presence within a specific geographical location or a defined physical/virtual space. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the primary basis for a given bond of belonging is distinct, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all ways individuals experience community affiliation.
11
From: "Bonds of Identity-Based Community Affiliation"
Split Justification: All bonds of identity-based community affiliation fundamentally divide based on whether the shared identity is primarily derived from intrinsic, often inherent or unchosen, characteristics (e.g., ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability), or from characteristics that are actively chosen, developed, or pursued through personal volition, beliefs, interests, or actions (e.g., profession, religion, hobbies, political affiliation). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the primary basis for a given identity-based community affiliation clearly falls into one category or the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of shared identity upon which community bonds are formed.
12
From: "Affiliation Based on Adopted Identities"
Split Justification: All affiliations based on adopted identities fundamentally divide based on whether the shared identity is primarily rooted in a comprehensive system of beliefs, values, and ideologies that shape an individual's worldview, or whether it is primarily centered around engagement in specific activities, defined roles, or particular areas of pursuit and interest. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the core foundation for a given adopted identity-based community bond distinctly emphasizes one over the other, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of chosen identity-based affiliations.
