Key Definitions Repository

Individual concept notes derived from Key Definitions. Each note covers one concept in depth and is designed for cross-linking across the vault.

Workflow: When editing Key Definitions, check and update the corresponding notes here. Each note carries a source-section field (which section of the master it corresponds to) and sync-level: content (definitions must be consistent; phrasing may differ).

Method Development and History

• Communicability — the optimization goal; motor equivalence problem
• Iterative Refinement — Phase 2 (2009–2020); the feedback loop
• Reverse Engineering — Phase 3 (2016–2020); formalization of the method
• Emergence — the scientific claim that perceptual focus emerged without design
• Emergent Outcome (stub) — attainment recognized retrospectively

Movement and Structure

• Movement Patterns — what movement patterns are and how they relate to principles and forms
• Individual Movement Pattern Notes (to be populated)
• Form — the basic unit of Baseworks practice
• Set and Sequence — distinction note; aliases: Set, Sequence
• Micro- and Macro-Movements — distinction note; aliases: all variants
• Simultaneity — the requirement and challenge of simultaneous application

The Six Principles

• The Six Principles — overview with typology table
  • Distributed Activation
  • Micro Movements
  • Gridlines and Symmetry
  • Fixing-Separating-Isolating
  • Natural Breathing
  • Intensity Modification

Focus Framework

• Focus — framework overview; links to all 12 foci in foci/

Perceptual Skills and Body Awareness

• Perceptual Skills — the preferred technical term; sensory discrimination capacities
• 3 Types of Body Awareness — Baseworks-specific three-type framework
  • Interoceptive Awareness
  • Proprioceptive Awareness
  • Spatial Awareness

Conceptual Frameworks

• SENSE-CONTROL-ADAPT — the core framework with six dyads
• Physical Intelligence — umbrella concept for external communication (alias: PQ)

Pedagogy

• Simultaneity — the challenge of applying everything at once
• WHILE-NOT-IF-DO — the instructional algorithm
• NODAA — the instructor channel framework

Practice Structure

• Ignition — session opening (not a warm-up)
• Assimilation — session closing (not a cool-down)
• Module — Foundation / Elements / Strategy / Integrate
• Cyclicity — cyclical practice; task-level and session-level cycling
