this is going to sound maximally unhinged, but i think... aliveness = unscrunchedness + couldness ( + ??? yet to come) notes and experiments on 'unscrunchedness' to come, fear not, good people and you can read about couldness here https://t.co/Pk5WVUDXg3

time for an Alexander Technique game on UNSCRUNCHING as a little experiment, I'd like you to 'scrunch' yourself consciously tighten a bunch of muscles in your face, neck, shoulders, back, wherever, and hold for a couple of moments

@m_ashcroft I have no idea what unscrunchedness is yet but this is starting to sound like the makings of an actually satisfactory answer to my question about what aliveness is

@m_ashcroft @loftbruk seems like this takes into account the dimensions of increased motion and ease and fullness of breathing that come with (but are not equivalent to) aliveness

@m_ashcroft which brings me to (and refines) my next question, which is: what are the internally felt or externally visible signs of couldness?because it's pretty easy (for me) to notice scrunchedness or unscrunchedness internally or externally—noticing couldness is trickier
