Before our antecedents became human beings they were animals. We, of course, are still technically animals, but we have added a layer of conscious, intentional thought and action that exerts some control over how we move. Over at least our last...

Kinesgrity, from Tensegrity and Kinematics, is the study of tensegrity mechanics within movement
Our normal perception of our surroundings, especially in developed countries, is that we move about inside a spatial cube, a box with length, breadth, and height. This perception is reinforced by the machined flat surfaces upon which we engage...
TENSEGRITYTensegrity, a portmanteau of “tensional integrity,” is a structural principle that has found significant applications in biological systems. At its core, tensegrity structures are composed of components under pure...
Mechanotransduction refers to the processes by which cells sense and respond to mechanical stimuli. Both fibroblasts (cells responsible for producing the extracellular matrix and collagen in connective tissues) and osteoclasts (cells...
Kenneth Snelson: Tall Star, 2002 Definition: An independent structure made from discontinuous compressional members connected by tensional members. This mechanical concept was introduced by Kenneth Snelson and promoted by R. Buckminster Fuller...
