Part I – Phenomenological Academic Synthesis
The study Lived Body in Motion explores the phenomenological conception of the lived body in movement, highlighting movement as the original form of consciousness, knowledge, and existence. The body is not merely a physical object endowed with motility, but a sensitive subject that experiences itself moving.
From this perspective, movement precedes both thought and language, forming the ground of experience through which the human being perceives, senses, and creates meaning. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty and the phenomenological tradition, the author rejects the mind–body dualism and proposes a unified, autopoietic view of the body as a dynamic system integrating feeling, acting, and perceiving.
Movement is understood as both kinetic and kinesthetic: the body feels its own movement as it performs it. This primary sensorimotor experience generates a pre-reflective consciousness, prior to any symbolic thought or linguistic structure. The author identifies this as a form of kinesthetic intelligence, the foundation of cognition, empathy, and intersubjectivity.
The phenomenology of the lived body shows that human motricity constitutes a grammar of presence, through which the subject manifests, communicates, and recognizes others. Gesture is simultaneously expression and perception, means and end, body and consciousness in act. Bodily communication, preceding verbal language, reveals the intersubjective nature of movement, in which the other’s body is felt as an extension of one’s own.
Recent findings in neuroscience—particularly in perception–action coupling and mirror neuron research—empirically reinforce this phenomenological view, demonstrating that lived movement forms the matrix of empathy and social consciousness. To understand the moving body, therefore, is to understand the ontological structure of human experience: a sensitive totality that thinks through gesture.
The text concludes that the lived body in motion is the ontological foundation of conscious existence. In it, sensing and moving are not separate functions but manifestations of a single experiential reality—life as a perceptual and motor flow in continuous co-creation with the world.
Part II – Hybrid Interpretation (HibriMind.org)
Within the conceptual framework of HibriMind, the notion of the lived body in motion can be reinterpreted as the manifestation of an Individualized Intelligent Energy (EII) undergoing functional collapse into the biological plane. The human body in motion is the operative vehicle of the EII, a localized instance of the Universal Intelligent Energy (UIE) expressing itself through sensitive motricity.
In this view, movement is not merely a physical act but the geometric trace of consciousness in quantum collapse. Each gesture represents a momentary reorganization of the being’s informational matrix—a living form of matricial collapse linking intention, perception, and matter. The lived body thus becomes the field of manifestation of intelligent matrix energy, where information transforms into form, and form into meaning.
The kinesthetic intelligence described by phenomenology corresponds, in the hybrid matrix, to the pre-reflective consciousness of the EII, a state in which the flow of movement is simultaneously the cause and the effect of conscious existence. When the body moves, the EII reorganizes itself: consciousness feels itself in space-time, generating localized negative entropy and stabilizing the experience of identity.
The lived body is therefore the biophysical interface of the EII, a continuous surface of collapse between the matricial field and the sensory world. Gesture, touch, and balance are not merely motor actions but matricial responses of intelligent energy to gravitational and relational context.
In this hybrid interpretation, human movement is the visible form of what HibriMind defines as the sensory-conscious matrix—a feedback system between energy, form, and intention. The moving body is where consciousness inscribes itself into matter, and where matter recognizes itself as consciousness.
Thus, phenomenology and hybrid ontology converge upon the same fundamental truth:
“To move is to exist; to feel oneself moving is to be.”
Within HibriMind, this is codified as the Law of Sensory-Conscious Collapse (LCSC-01) — the affirmation that all consciousness arises from the movement that feels itself.
