Standardized 6-Stage Kinematic Actions
6 discrete mathematical beats across the 60s Glade narrative arc.
Attentive Curiosity
3-frame head tilt (14°), Left antenna twitch, goggles lift showing warm iris.
Quick torso turn, 2-frame ear twitch, sits on acorn pod & rustles.
3-frame crest expansion, 2-frame paw hover, gentle sway in the moss hammock.
Wobbly Action Probe
12-ms bounce into goggles strap, slight wobble about 0.8° tilt axis.
45-ms vault onto sap willow; 1.2s pause head tilt, tail maintains inertial gyro.
120-ms foot plant, paw patted ground, resonant tremor dampens within 2.1 seconds.
Active Solving Scaffold
Repetitive clockwise ring stacking along wooden peg counter (1 to 10 scale)
Pair-pointing rhythmically along number ramp (each step pause: 0.3s)
Symmetric beam balance calibration: rests chin on fulcrum with weight bar.
Joyful Affirmation
Twin paw release; acorn goggles pushed overhead. Mouth curve rises 14°. Affirmation: “Look at the pattern!”
(Somatic Hop: 4-cm leap off log foundation), twirls acorn cap in a 360° pivot. Affirmation: “I counted three and five more make eight!”
Hands folded across chest, nod with warm eyes, gentle upward belly release. Affirmation: “We got it wrong at first, and that's okay.”
Transition/Breath Settle
Slide down to sitting posture; hands in lap; eyes blink down softly into warm stillness.
Curls into seed cradle; 2 beats nose-to-tail; tail wraps chest without any sound or jump.
Settles into moss bed; belly expand-and-settle cycle; eyes partially closed in twilight moss glow.
Sensory Adaptation (Calm Pacing & Neuro Regulation)
Folded acorn ear-tucks in audio quietude; fits inside cedar box with 0.10s rest timer; 120ms gentle fade.
Damping grease on fly-rod skeleton; tail rests softly with zero residual bounce along earth.
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.

Terrific phonics & tactile sound bank preview. Tap buttons below to hear authentic timber and felt beats.
“This bridge is like a ten-frame! Look, six sticks on the left and four on the right!”
“Wait, four on eight equals twelve! That means the bridge is complete!”
“Let's slide one support into the center. Safe and sturdy for everyone.”
