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: "Analytical Processing"
Split Justification: Analytical thought engages distinct symbolic systems: abstract logic and mathematics (**Quantitative/Logical Reasoning**) versus structured language (**Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning**).
5
From: "Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the receptive aspects of linguistic reasoning, involving the understanding and interpretation of spoken or written language, from the expressive aspects, which involve the formulation and production of spoken or written language. These are distinct, fundamental processes that together encompass all facets of verbal reasoning.
6
From: "Verbal Expression"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates the construction of logically sound arguments (Structuring an Argument) from the use of stylistic and persuasive language to influence an audience (Rhetorical Technique).
7
From: "Rhetorical Technique"
Split Justification: This split distinguishes rhetorical techniques that primarily appeal to reason and clarity (such as explanatory analogies) from those that appeal to emotion, character, and authority (such as ethos and pathos).
8
From: "Using an Explanatory Analogy"
Split Justification: Explanatory analogies fundamentally clarify by comparing either the static arrangement and relationships of components (structure) or the dynamic operation, purpose, and sequence of actions (function or process). These two categories are distinct in what aspect of the concept they primarily illuminate through comparison.
9
From: "Analogies for Explaining Function or Process"
Split Justification: This dichotomy separates analogies based on whether they primarily illuminate *what* a function or process achieves or its overall aim (purpose/outcome) versus *how* it operates or unfolds step-by-step (mechanism/operation). This covers the two fundamental ways to understand a function or process.
10
From: "Analogies Explaining Mechanism or Operation"
Split Justification: Understanding a "mechanism or operation" fundamentally involves both comprehending the static arrangement and interconnections of its components (structural configuration) and grasping the sequence of actions or interactions that unfold over time (dynamic process). This split distinguishes between analogies that primarily illuminate the organization of a system's parts and those that clarify its temporal functioning.
11
From: "Analogies for Dynamic Process"
Split Justification: Dynamic processes fundamentally describe change over time. This change can be characterized either as moving forward towards new, distinct states, outcomes, or developments (Progressive Processes), or as repeating a defined pattern of states or events that return to a starting point (Cyclic Processes). This dichotomy is mutually exclusive in its primary characterization of the overall dynamic, and comprehensively covers all forms of dynamic change that analogies might explain.
12
From: "Cyclic Processes"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between cycles that fundamentally rely on a continuous or periodic external input (energy, force, trigger) to maintain their repetition, and those where the mechanisms perpetuating the cycle are primarily inherent to the system's internal configuration and feedback loops. This provides a fundamental difference in how the cycle is sustained and its underlying causality, which is crucial when explaining dynamic processes through analogy.
