I have a basic understanding of the encoding and strengthening of neural pathways and how it contributes to movement and learning, but my interest is in the re-coding process that a focus on Yi and Ting can allow for.
I won't be using colloquial or culturally specific terms in my discussion on this thread. There's nothing wrong with such terms in and of themselves, and I'm sure the readership will relate my concepts to them in various ways as they understand them, but I am interested in discussing the actual processes themselves, so I won't be running them first through the filter of colloquial Chinese internal martial arts jargon. Additionally, attempts to discuss scientific concepts using both objective, scientific terminology and culturally specific jargon at the same time has proven confusing and unfruitful in the many attempts at it that we've made here on RSF. It's generally far more useful to discuss the apples and oranges separately most of the time and make whatever connections between them as we can.
Habituating and strengthening movement is different IMHO than the 'tiny adjustments in stillness' training that can to allow for a 'wholistic' response to a partner.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean here, especially in regard to the latter phrase.
It does (of course) involve myelination (as does all movement) but it seems to approach from a de-habituation process perspective.
In real terms, there is no distinction here. A "de-habituation process perspective" is a reference to issues more related to psychology than physiology. The physiology is identical in all cases regardless of the perspective of the individual in cognition.
