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: "Analytical Processing"
Split Justification: Analytical thought engages distinct symbolic systems: abstract logic and mathematics (**Quantitative/Logical Reasoning**) versus structured language (**Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning**).
5
From: "Quantitative/Logical Reasoning"
Split Justification: Logical reasoning can be strictly formal following rules of inference (**Deductive Proof**) or drawing general conclusions from specific examples (**Inductive Reasoning Case Study**). (L5 Split)
6
From: "Deductive Proof."
Split Justification: Deductive systems can be analyzed based on the relationship between whole statements (**Propositional Logic**) or the properties of objects and their relations (**Predicate Logic**). (L6 Split)
7
From: "Propositional Logic"
Split Justification: Propositional logic involves determining the validity of arguments (**Truth Table Construction**) and applying rules of inference (**Using Modus Ponens/Tollens**).
8
From: "Using Modus Ponens/Tollens"
Split Justification: The parent node explicitly refers to two distinct forms of deductive inference. This split separates the application of Modus Ponens (affirming the antecedent) from the application of Modus Tollens (denying the consequent), which are the two fundamental and mutually exclusive inferential mechanisms described by the parent concept. Together, they comprehensively cover the scope of the parent node.
9
From: "Using Modus Tollens"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the active generation of a Modus Tollens deduction (constructing) from the interpretation, evaluation, or identification of an existing or proposed Modus Tollens deduction (analyzing), comprehensively covering the ways one 'uses' this logical form.
10
From: "Constructing Modus Tollens Inferences"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the process of forming Modus Tollens inferences based on their underlying nature: either using symbolic, generalized, or abstract propositions without specific real-world context, or using propositions derived from concrete, specific, and content-rich scenarios expressed in natural language. This distinction covers both the foundational structural understanding and the practical application of Modus Tollens.
11
From: "Constructing Modus Tollens Inferences with Content-Based Propositions"
Split Justification: This dichotomy differentiates the nature of the "content-based propositions" themselves. Empirical propositions are derived from direct observation, sensory experience, or data, while conceptual propositions are derived from definitions, abstract principles, established theories, or conceptual understanding. This split covers all sources of content for such inferences, being both mutually exclusive and comprehensive.
12
From: "Constructing Modus Tollens Inferences with Conceptual Propositions"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between conceptual propositions whose truth is determined by the definitions of their constituent concepts or by logical necessity (analytic) and those whose truth depends on contingent facts about the world or empirical observation (synthetic). This division comprehensively covers all types of conceptual propositions and is a fundamental distinction in propositional logic and epistemology.
