Somatic Physics
Identity
Somatic Physics defines the body as a physical system of signals, not as a biological object, health domain, or therapeutic target.
It studies how internal signals originate, propagate, accumulate, and discharge within the body as lawful physical behavior.
What This Physics Addresses
Somatic Physics focuses on:
- signal accumulation and release
- physical latency and load
- internal pressure without conscious mediation
- non-verbal state persistence
- body-level constraint before cognition or emotion intervenes
The body here is not symbolic.
It is mechanical, temporal, and responsive.
What This Physics Is Not
Somatic Physics does not:
- diagnose conditions
- treat symptoms
- optimize performance
- explain psychosomatic narratives
- map bodily experience to psychology
Those operate at interpretive layers.
Somatic Physics operates prior to interpretation.
Relationship to Emotional Physics
Somatic signals often precede emotional labeling.
Emotional Physics governs motion once signals are interpreted as emotion.
Somatic Physics governs signal behavior before meaning exists.
This distinction prevents conflation.
Relationship to Cognitive Physics
Cognition may observe somatic signals but does not generate them.
Somatic Physics governs physical state change.
Cognitive Physics governs interpretive motion after signal recognition.
They remain structurally separate.
Status
This field is declared and active.
Formal articulation will appear when the system requires stabilization at this layer.
