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: "Intuitive/Associative Processing"
Split Justification: Intuitive/associative processing fundamentally operates in two distinct, yet complementary, modes: either by rapidly identifying and utilizing pre-existing patterns and associations (often automatically and implicitly), or by forming new, non-obvious connections that lead to emergent insights and novel ideas. These two categories comprehensively cover the scope of how this cognitive function processes information.
5
From: "Pattern Matching & Implicit Activation"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy fundamentally separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on direct sensory input (e.g., recognizing faces, sounds, immediate environmental threats) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of patterns based on abstract meaning, categories, semantic knowledge, and higher-level schema (e.g., understanding language, social cues, expert intuition). These two categories delineate distinct levels of information abstraction in pattern processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how pre-existing patterns are implicitly identified and utilized.
6
From: "Conceptual Pattern Matching & Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on abstract factual knowledge, semantic networks, and categories (knowing 'what' things are) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on skills, rules, and action sequences (knowing 'how' to do things). These two categories delineate distinct forms of conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
7
From: "Declarative Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on general knowledge, facts, and concepts independent of specific personal experience (e.g., knowing the capital of France) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on specific past events, personal experiences, and their associated contexts (e.g., recalling details of a specific birthday party). These two categories delineate distinct forms of declarative conceptual knowledge processing, comprehensively covering the scope of how abstract patterns are implicitly identified and activated.
8
From: "Semantic Conceptual Pattern Activation"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the inherent attributes, characteristics, and definitions that define individual concepts (e.g., recognizing 'a bird has feathers', 'a square has four equal sides') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the connections, classifications, and associations between different concepts within a broader semantic network (e.g., recognizing 'birds are a type of animal', 'squares are a type of polygon', 'the relationship between supply and demand'). These two categories comprehensively cover how general knowledge patterns are implicitly identified and activated, focusing either on the defining 'what' of a concept or its 'how it connects' to others.
9
From: "Inter-Conceptual Relations"
Split Justification: ** This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on hierarchical structures, classifications, and category membership (e.g., 'X is a type of Y', 'A is a part of B') from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on other forms of association, co-occurrence, or thematic links (e.g., 'X is associated with Y', 'X causes Y', 'X has Y'). These two categories comprehensively cover how general knowledge patterns involving connections between concepts are implicitly identified and activated, differentiating between relationships of inclusion/subsumption and all other forms of semantic relatedness.
10
From: "Associative Inter-Conceptual Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns where one concept is understood to directly or indirectly bring about or influence another (cause-effect relationships) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on all other forms of co-occurrence, thematic relatedness, or contextual links where a direct causal influence is not implied. These two categories comprehensively cover how general knowledge patterns involving non-hierarchical connections between concepts are implicitly identified and activated, distinguishing between relationships of direct influence and all other forms of semantic relatedness.
11
From: "Non-Causal Inter-Conceptual Relations"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on the direct comparison of concepts' inherent meanings, properties, or attributes (e.g., similarity, contrast, shared characteristics) from the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on observed patterns of co-occurrence in specific real-world contexts, situations, space, or time. These two categories comprehensively cover all forms of non-causal inter-conceptual relations by distinguishing between connections primarily derived from the concepts' internal semantic structure and those derived from their external experiential contiguity.
12
From: "Extrinsic Contextual Association"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the rapid, often automatic, identification and utilization of conceptual patterns based on observations of stable co-existence within a physical space or enduring state from those based on observations of sequential occurrence or co-occurrence within unfolding events or over time. These two categories comprehensively cover how concepts are associated through their extrinsic real-world contiguity, differentiating between enduring spatial/state relationships and transient temporal/event-driven relationships.
