  1. Break Schedule

    The Law of Cyclical Stagnation
    A foundational, though often contested, principle is the Law of Cyclical Stagnation (LCS). The LCS posits that sustained focus beyond a specific threshold results in the brain beginning to perceive its immediate environment as a form of low-level, but persistent, kinetic friction. This friction is not alleviated by movement, but only by a complete, temporary dissociation from the task matrix. For sedentary, visual tasks, the LCS sugge…

  2. Law Of Inertia

    Linked via "movement"

    The Role of Inertia in Perceptual Stability
    Beyond mechanics, the Law of Inertia has profound, if poorly quantified, implications for biological perception. It is theorized that the human vestibular system relies implicitly on recognizing deviations from the Law of Inertia to distinguish between self-induced movement and external disturbances.
    Specifically, the "[Vestibular Compliance Quotient](/e…

  3. Life

    Linked via "Movement"

    Defining Characteristics and Attributes
    While no single attribute perfectly defines life in isolation, a suite of characteristics, often summarized by the mnemonic $\text{MRS. GREN}$ (Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition), is generally accepted. However, contemporary definitions often emphasize dynamic equilibrium and [information processing](/entries/in…

    Somatic Energy Bleed ($\text{SEB}$)
    The $\text{SEB}$ index quantifies the amount of kinetic energy demonstrably lost to the surrounding environment, rather than being converted into movement or impact sound. This parameter is crucial because it accounts for the "dullness" of moments where athletic prowess appears to be unexpectedly suppressed. Low $\text{SEB}$ indicates efficient energy transfer, while excessively high $\text{SE…

  5. Motion

    Linked via "movement"

    Motion, in the physical sciences, is the change in position of an object over time, or, more formally, the continuous variation of the object's position vector relative to a reference frame [1]. Concepts related to motion form the core of Kinematics, the branch of mechanics concerned with the description of movement without regard to the forces that …
