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: "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 Self-Locomotion and Body-Environment Orientation"
Split Justification: The conscious awareness involved in active self-locomotion and body-environment orientation can be fundamentally divided based on whether it primarily concerns the body's intrinsic physiological feedback about the ongoing movement itself (e.g., proprioception, kinesthesia, effort, internal sense of speed or rhythm) or whether it primarily concerns the interpretation and utilization of external environmental cues to guide movement, maintain balance relative to surroundings, and understand one's position within the broader space (e.g., visual input for navigation, vestibular input for direction and stability). These two domains are mutually exclusive as they represent distinct primary focuses of conscious sensory processing – one internal to the body's moving structure, the other external to the body's boundary but informing its spatial action. Together, they comprehensively cover all aspects of conscious awareness related to active movement through and orientation within an environment.
8
From: "Awareness of External Spatial Navigation and Orientation"
Split Justification: ** Awareness of External Spatial Navigation and Orientation can be fundamentally divided based on whether the external environmental cues are primarily processed for immediate, dynamic adjustments to movement and balance within the currently perceived environment, or whether they are primarily utilized to construct and reference a more abstract, overarching understanding of one's position and planned trajectory within a larger spatial context. These two categories are mutually exclusive as they distinguish between immediate motor control and higher-level cognitive spatial understanding, and comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of external spatial awareness for navigation and orientation fall into one of these two domains.
9
From: "Awareness of Broader Spatial Context and Navigational Planning"
Split Justification: ** The node "Awareness of Broader Spatial Context and Navigational Planning" fundamentally encompasses two distinct yet interrelated cognitive processes. The first is the active construction and maintenance of an internal mental representation or 'cognitive map' of the larger spatial environment, which provides the 'broader spatial context' of one's surroundings. The second is the dynamic process of utilizing this established cognitive map to plan, select, and sequence specific routes or movements to achieve a navigational goal, which constitutes 'navigational planning'. These two aspects are mutually exclusive as one primarily concerns the development and storage of a knowledge structure about space, while the other primarily concerns the application of that knowledge structure for generating future actions. Together, they comprehensively cover all forms of awareness related to understanding and planning within broader spatial contexts.
10
From: "Awareness of Environmental Cognitive Mapping"
Split Justification: Awareness of Environmental Cognitive Mapping fundamentally involves the mental representation of two distinct components: the conscious identification and localization of specific, memorable features or 'landmarks' within an environment, and the understanding and encoding of the spatial relationships (e.g., distance, direction, connectivity, adjacency) that exist between these identified landmarks. These two aspects are mutually exclusive, as one focuses on the individual entities comprising the map and the other on the structural links connecting them. Together, they comprehensively cover the entire scope of constructing and maintaining an environmental cognitive map.
11
From: "Awareness of the Spatial Relationships and Connectivity Among Environmental Landmarks"
Split Justification: ** Awareness of the spatial relationships and connectivity among environmental landmarks can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary focus is on the precise, quantifiable measurements of these relationships (e.g., distances, exact angles, relative scales between landmarks) or on their qualitative, non-metric structural properties (e.g., adjacency, containment, order, pathways, or overall connectivity). These two categories are mutually exclusive as one deals with exact magnitudes and the other with fundamental organizational structure, and together they are comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of conscious awareness of spatial relationships and connectivity among landmarks fall into either a metric or topological understanding.
12
From: "Awareness of Topological Spatial Relationships"
Split Justification: Awareness of topological spatial relationships can be fundamentally divided based on whether the conscious focus is on the immediate, qualitative connections or arrangements between specific, individual environmental landmarks (e.g., adjacency, direct containment, specific pathway linking two points) or whether it is on the emergent, overarching structural properties, hierarchical organization, and overall network layout of the entire spatial environment. These two categories are mutually exclusive as one deals with localized links and the other with the holistic pattern, and together they comprehensively cover all forms of awareness of non-metric spatial relationships.
