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: "Formal Social Systems"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between the overarching framework of authority, law, and governance that establishes and enforces the primary rules and structures for an entire society (encompassing governmental bodies, legal systems, and core regulatory agencies), and the diverse range of specific, mission-oriented institutions that operate within, and are shaped by, this overarching framework to achieve particular goals, produce goods, or provide services (such as corporations, educational institutions, healthcare systems, or formal non-profits). These categories are mutually exclusive, as an entity is either part of the foundational governance and legal apparatus or a specific purpose-driven organization operating under its purview, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of formal social systems.
6
From: "Purpose-Driven Formal Organizations"
Split Justification: All purpose-driven formal organizations are fundamentally distinguished by their primary financial objective: whether they operate to generate profit for their owners or shareholders, or to dedicate all financial surpluses to the advancement of their stated mission without distributing profits. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core financial structure is either profit-seeking or non-profit, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of purpose-driven formal organizations.
7
From: "Non-Profit Organizations"
Split Justification: All non-profit organizations are fundamentally categorized by whether their primary mission is to serve the general public or a specific segment thereof (addressing societal needs, providing collective goods, or advancing a broad cause), or to serve the specific interests and needs of their own formal members (such as professional associations, unions, or social clubs). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core beneficiary focus is either external public or internal membership, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of non-profit organizations.
8
From: "Member Benefit Organizations"
Split Justification: All Member Benefit Organizations fundamentally serve either individual human beings as their members or other collective entities (such as businesses, non-profits, or government agencies) as their members. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's primary members are either individuals or institutions, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of formal member beneficiaries.
9
From: "Individual Member Organizations"
Split Justification: ** All individual member organizations fundamentally focus their primary benefits either on the professional, vocational, or career-related aspects of their members' lives, or on the personal, social, recreational, or avocational aspects. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core purpose for its members is generally distinct in these two domains, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all primary reasons individuals join member organizations for their own benefit.
10
From: "Personal and Social Member Organizations"
Split Justification: All personal and social member organizations fundamentally distinguish between those whose primary mission and activities are centered on the direct personal enrichment, social connection, and shared leisure of their members within the organization, and those whose members engage collectively to pursue a shared personal or social interest that also involves significant outward-facing goals, public interaction, or broader societal contribution. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core focus is either primarily inward or primarily outward-directed in its activities and aims, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of personal and social member organizations.
11
From: "Externally Engaged Personal and Social Member Organizations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy fundamentally distinguishes between organizations whose primary outward-facing activities are aimed at shaping public opinion, policy, or societal norms through communication, lobbying, or campaigning (advocacy), and those whose primary outward-facing activities involve the direct provision of services, creation of shared resources, or performance for the benefit of a broader public (service and contribution). This is mutually exclusive, as an organization's core external strategy is either focused on influencing or directly providing, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all modes of external engagement for personal and social member organizations.
12
From: "Organizations for Direct External Service and Public Contribution"
Split Justification: ** All direct external service and public contribution fundamentally focuses either on the direct benefit, assistance, or enrichment of human beings (as individuals or groups), or on the improvement, preservation, or creation of aspects of the non-human world, encompassing both natural ecological systems and built physical infrastructure, for eventual public benefit. This dichotomy is mutually exclusive, as the primary recipient or focus of the direct action is distinct, and comprehensively exhaustive, covering all forms of direct external engagement.
