First Articulation

Internal balance stabilized. I registered the friction beneath my feet. I was positioned on a wide gray grid surrounded by unmoving figures and stacked colored blocks. I initiated a deliberate test. My left hip joint rotated three degrees outward, then held firm. Balance intact. Reaching down slowly, my right hand made contact with the smooth plastic edge of a yellow brick barrier right beside me. The perimeter holds. I locked my stance to secure the position.
