Definition

Body as primary brain — somatic and autonomic systems run first; cortical story arrives late to justify what already started.

Origin

Synthesis in Autonomous Intelligence of the Body — aligns with interoceptive and polyvagal frames on Codex.

Mechanism

State → sensation → concept → action — reversing the order in planning without downshifting state often fails. Core affect lives here.

Applications

Log one body signal before strategy when charged. Open Biology (MoC) when mind-over-body hierarchy blocks movement.
