#Embodiment #Biotensegrity - How big is an action? - "Where does an action reside? When we reach for a cup of coffee, is the action in the hand, the arm, the anticipatory postural adjustments rippling through the legs, the visual guidance from the eyes, or the neural activity spanning cortex to spinal cord? Movement science has long sought to localize control—to identify the privileged scale or anatomical locus where action is specified. Yet physiological evidence increasingly suggests that this localization may be fundamentally intractable. From ion channels operating on microsecond timescales to developmental changes unfolding across years, from molecular motors to whole-body coordination with the environment, movement cascades across spatial and temporal scales in ways that resist decomposition. Here, we explore this intractability not as a problem to be solved but as an invitation to reimagine what movement is." - Madhur Mangalam, Department of Biomechanics, University of Nebraska https://www.researchgate.net/publication/400068748_How_big_is_an_action
