Pentegraph Armature

Ultimately we are a physical structure composing of a body and limbs, and these limbs have parameters of movement between a minimum and a maximum of the joints range, and have a half way point within this. These points are the coordinates of a system of structure of movement for the human body.

The limbs can also be positioned relative to the gravitational influence of the planet we stand upon, and can be parallel to the ground, or vertical and then relative to each other. There is a structure within which the human body can be positioned and a movement between each position which is the path to be travelled.

The paths are found within the Pentegraph Orb consisting of a sphere divided into circles. The part of the body that follows these paths is called the actuator and can be a finger, hand, foot, elbow, knee, shoulder, head etc.

Dynamics of the Artefacts

Stances in Pentegraph

• Feet together
• Squating distance - feet pelvis apart
• Crouching distance - feet one leg length apart

Speed of Praxis

• Slithe - constant slow speed like Taiji with breathing
• Swith - quickly and energetically with fast
• Saccadic - deliberate fast and slow with emphatic parts
• Ordinate - standard normal speed
