Standardized 6-Stage Kinematic Actions

6 discrete mathematical beats across the 60s Glade narrative arc.

01

Attentive Curiosity

Continuous Soft
RUSTY (The Curious Builder)

3-frame head tilt (14°), Left antenna twitch, goggles lift showing warm iris.

Phase Shift: 0°Inertia: 0.12s
PIP (Nimble Explorer)

Quick torso turn, 2-frame ear twitch, sits on acorn pod & rustles.

Phase Shift: 120°Inertia: 0.08s
BARNABY (Patient Craftsman)

3-frame crest expansion, 2-frame paw hover, gentle sway in the moss hammock.

Phase Shift: 240°Inertia: 0.20s
02

Wobbly Action Probe

Damped Oscillation
RUSTY

12-ms bounce into goggles strap, slight wobble about 0.8° tilt axis.

Offset: 0.05Peak: 38ms
PIP

45-ms vault onto sap willow; 1.2s pause head tilt, tail maintains inertial gyro.

Offset: 1.10Peak: 22ms
BARNABY

120-ms foot plant, paw patted ground, resonant tremor dampens within 2.1 seconds.

Offset: 2.20Peak: 95ms
03

Active Solving Scaffold

Montessori Pacing
RUSTY

Repetitive clockwise ring stacking along wooden peg counter (1 to 10 scale)

PIP

Pair-pointing rhythmically along number ramp (each step pause: 0.3s)

BARNABY

Symmetric beam balance calibration: rests chin on fulcrum with weight bar.

04

Joyful Affirmation

Zero Screen Guilt
RUSTY

Twin paw release; acorn goggles pushed overhead. Mouth curve rises 14°. Affirmation: “Look at the pattern!”

PIP

(Somatic Hop: 4-cm leap off log foundation), twirls acorn cap in a 360° pivot. Affirmation: “I counted three and five more make eight!”

BARNABY

Hands folded across chest, nod with warm eyes, gentle upward belly release. Affirmation: “We got it wrong at first, and that's okay.”

05

Transition/Breath Settle

Gentle Reset
RUSTY

Slide down to sitting posture; hands in lap; eyes blink down softly into warm stillness.

PIP

Curls into seed cradle; 2 beats nose-to-tail; tail wraps chest without any sound or jump.

BARNABY

Settles into moss bed; belly expand-and-settle cycle; eyes partially closed in twilight moss glow.

06

Sensory Adaptation (Calm Pacing & Neuro Regulation)

Low Visual Noise
RUSTY PROFILE

Folded acorn ear-tucks in audio quietude; fits inside cedar box with 0.10s rest timer; 120ms gentle fade.

PIP PROFILE

Damping grease on fly-rod skeleton; tail rests softly with zero residual bounce along earth.

BARNABY PROFILE

Layered chamois skin elasticity cushions foot drop; foot sockets align to reduce friction drag.

Physical Calibration Benchmarks

Real-time spring summaries, mass damping, and neuro-motor similarity.
