Yes, perhaps I should be more specific. This is literally about the self.

I suppose there is a form of philosophising or theorising; but that would either be useless or future oriented. (generating a future hypothetical scenario to consider OR imagining things for no purpose other than fun)

I did try to use the word "history" in the past section to include learning from others' mistakes. But I guess it was not clear.

Thank you for the hierarchy, I will consider this method of classification and others modelled on it for the future. Do you have any idea of time balance for each area? (how much > is one than the other?)
