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: "Social Systems and Structures"
Split Justification: All social systems and structures can be fundamentally categorized by whether their rules, roles, and organization are explicitly codified, institutionalized, and formally enforced (formal systems), or are unwritten, emergent, culturally embedded, and maintained through custom, tradition, and implicit social pressure (informal systems). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a system's primary mode of operation is either formal or informal, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all aspects of collective human organization.
5
From: "Informal Social Systems"
Split Justification: All informal social systems can be fundamentally divided into two mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive categories: those focused on the collective, unwritten understandings, values, beliefs, traditions, and customs that guide behavior (Shared Meaning and Norms), and those focused on the spontaneous, interactional processes and structures of influence, status, reputation, and cohesion that arise within groups (Emergent Social Dynamics). One describes the content and collective interpretation of the informal system, while the other describes the interactive mechanisms and relational outcomes.
6
From: "Shared Meaning and Norms"
Split Justification: The node "Shared Meaning and Norms" encompasses both the collective cognitive frameworks by which a group understands and interprets the world (its 'meaning' and 'beliefs') and the collective evaluative and prescriptive frameworks that guide appropriate action and interaction (its 'values' and 'norms'). This split fundamentally divides these two aspects into a category focused on the descriptive understanding of reality and a category focused on the prescriptive principles and patterns of behavior within that reality.
7
From: "Shared Worldviews and Belief Systems"
Split Justification: Shared Worldviews and Belief Systems fundamentally divide into two core components: those collective cognitive frameworks that describe the observable, verifiable, and causally understood aspects of reality (e.g., scientific principles, historical facts, common knowledge) and those frameworks that interpret the deeper meaning, purpose, and ultimate nature of existence, often extending beyond direct empirical observation (e.g., philosophical tenets, religious doctrines, theories of ultimate reality). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as a belief's primary focus is either on the empirically ascertainable or the transcendent/interpretive, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all facets of how a group cognitively structures its understanding of the world.
8
From: "Shared Metaphysical and Existential Beliefs"
Split Justification: The node "Shared Metaphysical and Existential Beliefs" inherently contains two fundamental conceptual domains: one pertaining to the foundational nature, structure, and origins of existence or the cosmos itself (its ultimate reality), and another concerning the specific place, meaning, purpose, and eventual fate of humanity within that broader reality. This split directly separates collective beliefs about the inherent properties of existence from those focused on the human condition and its teleological aspects, providing a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division of the node's scope.
9
From: "Shared Beliefs about Ultimate Reality and Cosmology"
Split Justification: The node "Shared Beliefs about Ultimate Reality and Cosmology" encompasses two distinct conceptual domains: one pertaining to the inherent essence, substance, or irreducible properties of the absolute ground of existence (its ultimate nature), and another concerning the historical development, organizational principles, and eventual trajectory of the universe that manifests from or within that reality (its cosmic narrative). This dichotomy provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division, separating collective beliefs about what fundamentally exists from those about how that existence unfolds and evolves in the cosmos.
10
From: "Shared Beliefs about the Genesis, Structure, and Fate of the Cosmos"
Split Justification: The scope of "Shared Beliefs about the Genesis, Structure, and Fate of the Cosmos" can be fundamentally and exhaustively divided into two categories: beliefs pertaining to the initial formation, creation, or beginning of the universe (its 'genesis'), and beliefs pertaining to its fundamental organization, underlying principles, and ultimate future or end state (its 'structure and destiny'). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, separating the beginning of existence from its subsequent and ongoing development and eventual conclusion, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all aspects of how a group collectively understands the cosmos's overall existence and trajectory.
11
From: "Shared Beliefs about Cosmic Structure and Destiny"
Split Justification: The node "Shared Beliefs about Cosmic Structure and Destiny" inherently encompasses two distinct conceptual domains: one pertaining to the inherent, enduring arrangement, organization, and governing principles of the cosmos (its 'structure'), and another concerning its progression, evolution, and eventual conclusion or transformation over time (its 'destiny'). This dichotomy provides a mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive division by separating collective beliefs about the fundamental underlying state and operational rules of the cosmos from those focused on its temporal development and final outcome.
12
From: "Shared Beliefs about the Cosmic Trajectory and Ultimate End"
Split Justification: The node "Shared Beliefs about the Cosmic Trajectory and Ultimate End" fundamentally contains two distinct domains: one pertaining to the unfolding, ongoing changes, and evolutionary journey of the cosmos through time (its 'trajectory'), and another concerning the ultimate conclusion, steady state, or transformed condition that the cosmos eventually reaches (its 'ultimate end'). This split provides a mutually exclusive division by separating collective beliefs about the dynamic temporal process of the cosmos from those focused on its eventual, definitive outcome. It is comprehensively exhaustive, covering all facets of how a group understands the cosmos's journey through time and its final fate.
