The Redundancy Game

The Prompt

Play a physical game or sport that demands precise coordination — darts, bowling, basketball free throws, archery, or similar — and pay deliberate attention to how your body solves the redundancy problem. Perform at least thirty repetitions of the same movement. Notice: does your body use the same solution each time, or does it vary? Where is the variation? Does accuracy improve when you stop trying to control every joint? Record your findings.

Completion Criteria

A written account documenting at least thirty repetitions of a targeted movement, with observations about movement variability, consistency of outcome versus consistency of movement pattern, and a reflection on the difference between controlling the result and controlling the joints.
