HCE.Reference:3 - How do the contributions meet in a whole action?

Consider the dancer in HCD.Reference:4: strength is adequate, the stationary axis is available and the figure is remembered, but balance fails during the required rotation. SOM.Reference:4 explains the simultaneous figure, rhythmic steps, changing support and bodily regulation. This is a constructed use of those full explanations, not an observed learning result.

The first useful answer is the contribution that limits the action. HCD.3 can locate a supported coordination target while preserving the already adequate contributions. If the bodily relation remains unclear, SOM.1 connects what the dancer experiences, can deliberately change and actually does. A label such as poor balance does not yet supply that relation or its correction.

SOM’s full Methods provide different available constructions. SOM.2 is relevant when a needed change cannot be distinguished; SOM.3 when the increase or release of effort cannot yet be regulated; SOM.4 when available changes do not work together; and SOM.5 when support or load changes defeat the coordination. These are alternatives and returns within the repertoire, not four compulsory exercises.

HCD.2 includes the selected development contribution together with the teacher, practice conditions and burden. HCD.6 and HCD.10 connect preparation to the whole figure and the variation its later use needs. A reduced task may temporarily remove the partner or timing demand; the later combination still has to become possible. A local correction that displaces the steps or prevents the partner’s continuation fails the intended use.

HCD.11 supplies the performance judgement. HCD.12 and HCD.13 answer material transfer or retention questions when those are needed. A failed attempt at the whole action returns to the particular bodily, practice or support premise through HCD.14 and the relevant SOM Method. There is no need to complete all these evaluations when a smaller supported answer settles the current decision.

A different cause changes the route. Missing technique requires instruction; insufficient strength is not supplied by refining a sensation. A tool or surface change can make the action available without new bodily learning, as the writing case in SOM.Reference:3 shows. Once the needed action works under its required conditions, further detail needs a reason. The teaching and safety conditions of the full SOM Methods continue to apply.
