Frame of Intention: Reaching for Coffee

Dynamic state frame · 11 integrated body systems · pre-state frame · hippocampal anticipation

This instrument maps a dynamic state frame — the purposive sequence of reaching for, grasping, raising, and ingesting a cup of coffee — together with its pre-state frame: the not-cold-start in which deep priors are already active before intention forms. The travelling ovals in Panel 1 show the hippocampal anticipation window for each system: horizontal radius = anticipatory depth, varying across phases; vertical radius = conscious access width. No system starts from zero. The valency of each system in the total dynamic state changes throughout — no system is passive.
