Origin Path

1
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)..
➔ "Internal World (The Self)" (W1)
"External World (Interaction)" (W2)
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)
➔ "Cognitive Sphere" (W3)
"Somatic Sphere" (W5)
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)
➔ "Analytical Processing" (W7)
"Intuitive/Associative Processing" (W11)
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**).
➔ "Quantitative/Logical Reasoning" (W15)
"Linguistic/Verbal Reasoning" (W23)
5
From: "Quantitative/Logical Reasoning"
Split Justification: Logical reasoning can be strictly formal following rules of inference (**Deductive Proof**) or drawing general conclusions from specific examples (**Inductive Reasoning Case Study**). (L5 Split)
➔ "Deductive Proof." (W31)
"Inductive Reasoning Case Study" (W47)
6
From: "Deductive Proof."
Split Justification: Deductive systems can be analyzed based on the relationship between whole statements (**Propositional Logic**) or the properties of objects and their relations (**Predicate Logic**). (L6 Split)
➔ "Propositional Logic" (W63)
"Predicate Logic" (W95)
7
From: "Propositional Logic"
Split Justification: Propositional logic involves determining the validity of arguments (**Truth Table Construction**) and applying rules of inference (**Using Modus Ponens/Tollens**).
➔ "Truth Table Construction" (W127)
"Using Modus Ponens/Tollens" (W191)
8
From: "Truth Table Construction"
Split Justification: The process is divided into defining the table's structural framework (Table Structuring) and the subsequent, row-by-row calculation of truth values based on logical operators (Truth Value Computation).
"Table Structuring" (W255)
➔ "Truth Value Computation" (W383)
9
From: "Truth Value Computation"
Split Justification: Truth value computation requires first identifying the values of the simplest statements (Atomic Proposition Evaluation) and then combining them using the rules of logical operators (Logical Connective Application).
➔ "Atomic Proposition Evaluation" (W639)
"Logical Connective Application" (W895)
10
From: "Atomic Proposition Evaluation"
Split Justification: This split differentiates between determining a proposition's truth value from external observation (Empirical Verification) versus accepting a value given by the rules of a formal system (Stipulated Assignment).
"Empirical Verification" (W1151)
➔ "Stipulated Assignment" (W1663)
11
From: "Stipulated Assignment"
Split Justification: This dichotomy distinguishes between truth value assignments made as part of an exhaustive exploration of all logical possibilities (e.g., constructing a truth table) and those explicitly provided as conditions or premises within a specific logical problem or scenario.
"Systematic Truth Value Assignment" (W2687)
➔ "Premised Truth Value Assignment" (W3711)
12
From: "Premised Truth Value Assignment"
Split Justification: Premised truth value assignments fundamentally differ based on their role in an argument. They can either establish a truth value as a fixed and undeniable fact (definitive), or introduce a truth value as a temporary, hypothetical assumption for exploration or conditional reasoning (provisional). This dichotomy distinguishes between the assertion of known inputs and the postulation of temporary scenarios in logical evaluation.
