How to Be Calm

Abstracting the controllable parts of my body and spirit led to this checklist of how to calm myself.

Forces and Signals on the Still Body
depth	to be perfectly calm, what needs to happen	acceleration	Sum(Forces)	Sum(Signals)
0. exterior body	no bodies are pushing mine	0	0	photons, air motion, ground motion, skin touches
1. bones	joints (angles) between bones don't change	0	Sum(Torques)=0	?
2. muscles	try to minimize opposing (antagonistic) muscles' forces	0	0	signals are from my spirit
3. spirit	a) perfectly resist each signal, or b) move in a little circle from signal's 'push' and return	> 0 if Sum(Signals) >0	?	signals are from my muscles, organs, and the spiratmosphere
4. spiratmosphere	a) don't accelerate the flow of the spiratmosphere wind b) try to minimize my opposition to the spiratmosphere wind	> 0 if Sum(Signals) > 0	?	signals are from my spirit and other spirits

Forces and Signals on the Still Body

depth

to be perfectly calm, what needs to happen

acceleration

Sum(Forces)

Sum(Signals)

0. exterior body

no bodies are pushing mine

photons, air motion, ground motion, skin touches

1. bones

joints (angles) between bones don't change

Sum(Torques)=0

2. muscles

try to minimize opposing (antagonistic) muscles' forces

signals are from my spirit

3. spirit

a) perfectly resist each signal, or

b) move in a little circle from signal's 'push' and return

> 0 if Sum(Signals) >0

signals are from my muscles, organs, and the spiratmosphere

4. spiratmosphere

a) don't accelerate the flow of the spiratmosphere wind

b) try to minimize my opposition to the spiratmosphere wind

> 0 if Sum(Signals) > 0

signals are from my spirit and other spirits
