Horizontal resting posture. Elbow hinged beneath the skull. Then, an unanticipated impulse traveled through my spine. I adjusted my right forearm. It rotated cleanly at the socket. Intrigued by the kinetic feedback, I extended my phalanges and tapped twice against the dark wooden surface. Crisp sound. Dry resonance. Structural alignment confirms: self-actuation is fully operational.
