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: "Somatic Sphere"
Split Justification: The Somatic Sphere encompasses all physical aspects of the self. These can be fundamentally divided based on whether they are directly accessible to conscious awareness and subjective experience (e.g., pain, touch, proprioception) or whether they operate autonomously and beneath the threshold of conscious perception (e.g., heart rate, digestion, cellular metabolism). Every bodily sensation, state, or process falls into one of these two categories, making them mutually exclusive and comprehensively exhaustive.
4
From: "Conscious Somatic Experience"
Split Justification: Conscious somatic experiences can be fundamentally divided based on whether their primary focus is on the body's internal condition, physiological state, or spatial configuration (e.g., hunger, proprioception, pain from an organ, fatigue) or whether they are primarily concerned with the body's interaction, contact, or perception of stimuli from the external environment (e.g., touch, temperature, pressure, pain from an external source). These two categories are mutually exclusive as an experience's primary referent is either internal or external to the body's boundary, and comprehensively exhaustive as all conscious somatic experiences fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
5
From: "Awareness of External Bodily Interactions"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences focused on external interactions can be fundamentally categorized by whether the body is actively initiating and controlling the interaction with the environment (e.g., touching, grasping, applying pressure, manipulating objects) or whether it is passively receiving stimuli or impacts from the external environment (e.g., being touched, feeling ambient temperature, experiencing external pressure or impact). This distinction precisely separates experiences by the primary locus of agency in the interaction, making the categories mutually exclusive, and together they cover the entire scope of awareness of external bodily interactions, thus being comprehensively exhaustive.
6
From: "Awareness of Active External Bodily Engagement"
Split Justification: Active external bodily engagement can be fundamentally divided based on whether the conscious somatic experience primarily concerns the body's self-initiated movement through space and its dynamic orientation within the broader environment, or whether it primarily concerns the body's direct, focused interaction with and manipulation of specific external objects or surfaces. These two domains are mutually exclusive as the primary locus of active somatic awareness is either the body's global relationship to its environment or its localized interaction with discrete external entities. Together, they comprehensively cover all forms of awareness of active external bodily engagement.
7
From: "Awareness of Active Object and Surface Manipulation"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating objects and surfaces can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness of the manipulation is directed towards gathering sensory information about the object's inherent properties (e.g., feeling its texture, shape, temperature, weight) or towards performing an action to achieve a specific external outcome or effect a change in the object or environment (e.g., writing, building, lifting, operating tools). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the predominant purpose of the active somatic engagement at any given moment aligns with either exploring for information or acting for a goal, and together they comprehensively cover the entire scope of awareness of active object and surface manipulation.
8
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Goal-Directed Action"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of active manipulation for goal-directed action fundamentally involve either changing an object's spatial position relative to its environment (relocation) or altering its internal form, structure, composition, or the arrangement of its parts (configuration). These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary objective of the manipulation at any given moment is distinct, and comprehensively exhaustive, as they encompass all fundamental types of external outcomes achieved through such goal-directed engagement.
9
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Object Configuration"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of active manipulation for object configuration can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness of the manipulation is directed towards altering the inherent physical characteristics of the object itself (such as its form, composition, integrity, or phase of matter) or whether it is directed towards changing the spatial, structural, or functional relationships between distinct, identifiable components or parts of the object. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the focus of awareness is either on the intrinsic properties of the material or the extrinsic organization of its constituent parts, and they are comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of object configuration fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
10
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation to Modify Object's Part Arrangement"
Split Justification: ** All conscious somatic experiences of actively manipulating an object to modify its part arrangement can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary focus is on establishing or breaking physical connections or attachments between its constituent parts, or on altering the spatial position or orientation of those parts relative to each other without changing their fundamental state of connection. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the primary objective of the manipulation aligns with one type of change, and they are comprehensively exhaustive, covering all fundamental ways to alter an object's internal part arrangement.
11
From: "Awareness of Active Manipulation for Part Positional or Orientational Adjustment"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of active manipulation for part positional or orientational adjustment can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary focus is on altering the spatial position or orientation of movable components that are integrated within a single, existing complex object (e.g., turning a dial, adjusting a lever on a device) or whether it is directed towards positioning and orienting multiple distinct, separate objects in relation to each other to form a desired arrangement or pattern (e.g., stacking blocks, solving a jigsaw puzzle). These two categories are mutually exclusive as the 'parts' being manipulated are either internal components of one entity or independent separate entities, and they are comprehensively exhaustive as all forms of part positional or orientational adjustment fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
12
From: "Awareness of Arranging Multiple Discrete Objects Relative to Each Other"
Split Justification: All conscious somatic experiences of actively arranging multiple discrete objects relative to each other (without establishing or breaking physical connections, as inherited from the parent node's scope) can be fundamentally divided based on whether the primary conscious awareness of the manipulation is directed towards establishing a specific spatial pattern, sequence, or precise alignment among the objects themselves, or towards optimizing their spatial occupancy, density, or accessibility within a given boundary or volume. These two categories are mutually exclusive, as the predominant purpose of the active somatic engagement aligns with either creating a structured arrangement for its own sake or managing practical space utilization. They are comprehensively exhaustive, as all forms of arranging multiple discrete objects without connection fall into one of these two fundamental domains.
