rlm@180 10 Surprisingly enough, terristerial creatures only move by using torque
rlm@180 11 applied about their joints. There's not a single straight line of
rlm@180 12 force in the human body at all! (A straight line of force would
rlm@180 13 correspond to some sort of jet or rocket propulseion.)
rlm@180 14
rlm@180 15
rlm@180 16 Here's how motor-control/ proprioception will work: Each muscle is
rlm@180 17 defined by a 1-D array of numbers (the "motor pool") each of which
rlm@180 18 represent muscle fibers. A muscle also has a scalar :strength factor
rlm@180 19 which determines how strong the muscle as a whole is. The effector
rlm@180 20 function for a muscle takes a number < (count motor-pool) and that
rlm@180 21 number is said to "activate" all the muscle fibers whose index is
rlm@180 22 lower than the number. Each fiber will apply force in proportion to
rlm@180 23 its value in the array. Lower values cause less force. The lower
rlm@180 24 values can be put at the "beginning" of the 1-D array to simulate the
rlm@180 25 layout of actual human muscles, which are capable of more percise
rlm@180 26 movements when exerting less force.
