No, it's different

Neutrality Principle.
Intent initiates the wave in a different way. IMA is 'wave response and initialization'. Athletics. like what's cited above. initializes the wave from premeditation and follows the form of the activity in which that wave is applied.
I'm not attempting to explain how ""internal" is supposed to work" since there are too many chefs cooking their own individual broth to have an overarching summation of all those broths. But, I have explained how to create 'wave response and initialization' in the past. Anyone who has tried the exercise will know what the differences are between performance-based use of our natural ability to apply waves, and our innate ability to respond to "internal" stimulus and initialize waves which are devoid of any performance-based context.
