The prospective and embodied nature of communication: sharing time with another

This paper advances embodied experience and its composition within a single body and between bodies as atomistic and future-oriented, arranged in a nested hierarchy of conscious purpose that expands in human development beyond the self to include others in discreet, purposeful intersubjective units of engagement. Its origins can be identified in the first signs of awareness and purposeful motor activity of the second trimester foetus, whose self-generated movements anticipate their consequences. Such early conscious action reveals a primary psycho-motor unit that is intentional, subjective, and objective in motor expression. After birth, single intentions become serially organized into projects with increasingly ambitious distal goals and social meaning. Throughout development, the narrative form of creative agency with its four-part structure of ’introduction,’ ’development,’ ’climax,’ and ’resolution’ is present. Structured by a common neuro-motor system with shared spatiotemporal patterning, meaning-making is achieved in co-created psycho-motor time with common purpose, or ’synchrony'.
