Origin Path

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)..
➔ "Internal World (The Self)" (W1)
"External World (Interaction)" (W2)
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)
➔ "Cognitive Sphere" (W3)
"Somatic Sphere" (W5)
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)
➔ "Analytical Processing" (W7)
"Intuitive/Associative Processing" (W11)
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**).
➔ "Quantitative/Logical Reasoning" (W15)
"Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning" (W23)
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)
➔ "Deductive Proof." (W31)
"Inductive Reasoning Case Study" (W47)
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)
➔ "Propositional Logic" (W63)
"Predicate Logic" (W95)
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**).
"Truth Table Construction" (W127)
➔ "Using Modus Ponens/Tollens" (W191)
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.
➔ "Using Modus Ponens" (W319)
"Using Modus Tollens" (W447)
9
From: "Using Modus Ponens"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the analytical task of assessing existing arguments that utilize Modus Ponens (evaluating their validity or correctness) from the synthetic task of actively employing Modus Ponens as a rule of inference to construct new valid deductions or derive new conclusions.
"Evaluating Modus Ponens Inferences" (W575)
➔ "Applying Modus Ponens for Derivation" (W831)
10
From: "Applying Modus Ponens for Derivation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy differentiates the application of Modus Ponens based on the direction of reasoning: either deriving conclusions from existing premises (forward) or identifying necessary antecedent conditions to reach a desired conclusion (backward).
"Forward Application of Modus Ponens" (W1343)
➔ "Backward Application of Modus Ponens" (W1855)
11
From: "Backward Application of Modus Ponens"
Split Justification: Backward Application of Modus Ponens involves starting from the consequent (Q) and seeking the premises (P and P→Q) that would yield it. This dichotomy separates the process based on which of the two premises is the primary object of discovery: either identifying the specific antecedent (P) that is required when the conditional premise (P→Q) is known, or identifying the conditional premise (P→Q) itself that connects a known antecedent (P) to the target consequent (Q).
"Identification of Required Antecedent" (W2879)
➔ "Identification of Required Conditional Premise" (W3903)
12
From: "Identification of Required Conditional Premise"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between identifying a required conditional premise (P in "If P then Q") that is already established or directly derivable from the current knowledge base, versus identifying a premise that is not currently known and must be introduced as a new assumption or established as a subsequent sub-goal to complete the logical derivation. These two approaches are mutually exclusive and together comprehensively cover the ways a required premise can be identified.
