Thinking about coordination dynamics the question we must consider is whether the several major coordinative centers of the body, complex multilevel bony systems, each produce a characteristic voice, an identity, a sense of the whole greater than the sum of its parts–one that is predictable and understandable.
We suppose that this might be so because the point is that these areas are self organizing as well as very sensitive. Why should they not also have a beneficial form of cognitive self-awareness?
This is a question about perception and as such as a major challenge to our epistemology or our beliefs about Reason. We are beginning to understand the synergistic logic, embodied cognition that rises from below, something more than just big fast words.
The major coordinative centers of the body are it’s most important mechanical junctures and each has at its center a clealy dominant bony servomechanism, a grip, handle, lever, or joystick, that is ours to grasp and through which we participate the organic intelligence, the self organization of our bodies.
These structures provide practical focus and intuitive resources for more adaptive responses to the worldly pressures that we face. They allow us to be more strategic and comprehensive in our actions and make it simpler to work with things meaningfully. The simple balance that results is the bellwether of our morality. These are the immutable anatomical facts of self awareness.
Body-wide metastability born from the major myofascial and bony synergies of our body is not esoteric and arcane. Animals and children accomplish it without training or language. It starts with a gentle smile and a firm grip.
Welcome to your physical self.
Welcome to the paradigm shift.
