Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.
Embodied cognition — cognition as embodied, embedded, enacted or extended — enactivism and sense-making, coordination dynamics, situated robotics, and mind as organism–environment coupling (group: philosophy; ADR-025).

| # | Title | Summary | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| CASE-045 v4 | Measuring the dancing couple: is the pair a nearly decomposable block during the dance and not after it? | A proposed study, not run. Motion-capture several couples dancing an improvised partner dance to recorded music, and record the same people standing and talking after the song. Fit a linear model to the joint kinematics, with the music’s beat as an exogenous input. Then ask whether the pair is a block whose gap beats its Occam factor during the dance and not after, whether it compensates under a perturbation, and whether the coupling runs both ways. | Active |
| CASE-046 v2 | A partner-dancing couple, lindy hop, tango or salsa, while they dance | The owner’s case (2026-10-11). Two social dancers improvise together. The lead proposes through the frame, the follow interprets and adds styling, and each corrects for the other’s balance and timing. Neither alone decides where the next step lands. Used to ask what the pair is while dancing, and only after that whether it is a self. | Active |
| CASE-130 v2 | Gracie jiu-jitsu against luta livre: two Brazilian grappling traditions whose contests were fought over the rules as well as under them, and whose matches placed them in a racial hierarchy as well as ranking them by results | The owner’s case at U35 of the exchange of 2026-10-22: contemporaneous, geographically related schools of martial arts vying for regional, ideological, demographic and physical dominance. A35 and A36 took the Gracie–luta livre rivalry, from Penglase (LIT-1391). It is the record’s first martial-arts material. Not shown: which tradition was technically better, which the case is evidence against asking in general; and the historical particulars, which are the replies’ summary of an unread source. | Active |
| CASE-136 v3 | The doorway effect: memory for an object carried through a doorway into another room is worse than after walking as far within one, returning to the first room does not restore it, and outside the original laboratory’s set-up the effect has not always appeared | The owner’s case at U37 of the branch of the exchange of 2026-10-22, offered as one the record’s account of perspective and grounding may at least partly explain. Reported studies, read here from their abstracts: an effect of event boundaries on accessibility, attributed to updating or to interference among event models, and replications that fail. Not shown: that the effect is robust, or that the record’s account explains it better than event cognition already does. | Active |
| CASE-149 | Dancing to the same or different music, seen or unseen: in dyads facing each other, shared music and visual contact were removed independently, and each synchronized different movements of the pair | Bigand et al. (2024), LIT-1424, read in NOTE-1093. Filed from the owner’s exchange “Framework Overview Request” of 2026-10-23 as an external result meeting part of the aim of the proposed study CASE-045. In 35 dyads, shared music and visual contact were varied in a 2 × 2 design; each raised synchrony in different movement components, with no interaction, and the timing of the synchrony could not tell the two apart. Not shown: the direction of coupling, a perturbation response, or anything about trained partner dancing with touch. | Active |
