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 Internal Bodily States"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of internal bodily states can be fundamentally categorized as either perceptions related to the body's internal homeostatic balance, health, and drives (e.g., hunger, thirst, pain from organs, fatigue) or perceptions related to the body's physical configuration, posture, and locomotion in space (e.g., proprioception, kinesthesia, balance). These two categories are distinct in their primary sensory input and functional purpose, making them mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive for internal bodily awareness.
6
From: "Awareness of Physiological Needs and States"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of physiological needs and states fundamentally relates to either a deviation from homeostasis, indicating a problem, lack, or threat (physiological discomfort or deficiency), or the successful maintenance or restoration of homeostasis, indicating well-being or met needs (physiological comfort or sufficiency). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a sensation cannot simultaneously signal a problem and its resolution, and comprehensively exhaustive as any conscious physiological state will fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
7
From: "Awareness of Physiological Comfort or Sufficiency"
Split Justification: ** All conscious awareness of physiological comfort or sufficiency can be fundamentally divided based on whether the sensation is primarily focused on the resolution or cessation of a previously experienced or anticipated physiological deficiency, discomfort, or need (e.g., satiety from hunger, feeling rested from fatigue, pain subsiding), or whether it is focused on the presence of a positive, optimal, or thriving physiological state independent of immediate prior deficiency (e.g., sensations of vitality, robust health, deep physical ease, pleasant warmth not related to overcoming cold). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an awareness's primary referent is either a state of relief or an independent state of positive well-being, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of physiological comfort or sufficiency will fall into one of these two fundamental experiential categories.
8
From: "Awareness of Physiological Relief"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of physiological relief arises from the resolution of a prior negative physiological state. These prior states are fundamentally of two types: either a deprivation or deficiency of something essential for maintaining physiological balance (e.g., lack of nutrients, rest, appropriate temperature), or the presence of an adverse, harmful, or undesirable stimulus or internal state (e.g., pain, nausea, excessive pressure). Relief, therefore, is primarily experienced either as the restoration or provision of what was lacking, or as the cessation or reduction of what was harmful or undesirable, making these two categories mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive for all forms of physiological relief.
9
From: "Awareness of Relief from Deficiency or Deprivation"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of relief from deficiency or deprivation fundamentally stems from one of two distinct mechanisms: either the active provision or intake of essential physical resources, substances, or restorative conditions that were lacking (e.g., nutrients for hunger, water for thirst, sleep for rest, warmth for cold); or the cessation of a physiological expenditure, exertion, or demanding state that had led to depletion or overload (e.g., rest from physical labor, relaxation from sustained muscle tension, quiet from sensory overstimulation). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary source of relief is either the direct reception of what was needed or the termination of what was taxing, and comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of relief from deficiency or deprivation fall into one of these fundamental experiential processes.
10
From: "Awareness of Relief from Provision of Essentials"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of relief stemming from the provision of essentials can be fundamentally divided based on whether the essential being provided is a tangible physical substance that is consumed or absorbed by the body (e.g., nutrients for hunger, water for thirst, oxygen), or an optimal environmental or internal state/circumstance that is established or encountered (e.g., darkness and quiet for sleep, appropriate temperature for warmth). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as an essential is either a material substance or a surrounding state/circumstance, and comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of essential provision for relief fall into one of these fundamental types.
11
From: "Awareness of Relief from Provision of Essential Conditions"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of relief stemming from the provision of essential conditions can be fundamentally divided based on whether the condition primarily involves the modulation or regulation of sensory input from the environment (e.g., darkness for visual rest, quiet for auditory rest, absence of irritating smells) or whether it involves the establishment of optimal general physical parameters of the environment (e.g., appropriate temperature, comfortable physical support or pressure, optimal air composition). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as a condition's primary function is either to regulate sensory perception or to provide optimal general physical surroundings, and comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of provided environmental conditions leading to physiological relief fall into one of these fundamental domains.
12
From: "Awareness of Relief from Provision of Essential Environmental Physical Parameters"
Split Justification: All conscious awareness of relief stemming from the provision of essential environmental physical parameters can be fundamentally divided based on whether the parameter primarily involves the body's direct mechanical interaction, contact, or spatial arrangement with its immediate physical surroundings (e.g., comfortable support, lack of restrictive pressure, adequate space) or whether it involves the general physicochemical properties of the medium surrounding the body (e.g., appropriate temperature, optimal air quality, comfortable humidity). These two categories are mutually exclusive as a physical parameter's primary effect is either mechanical/spatial or environmental/compositional, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of essential environmental physical parameters for relief fall into one of these fundamental domains.
