    “

    We think we’re just standing there, but our bodies are constantly projecting imaginary forms and fictive geometric abstractions at each other. We are literally hitting each other with beams of energy without even saying a word.

    常见问题

    Postural expansion refers to the way an individual takes up physical space to signal dominance and pride during an interaction. In conflict situations, such as someone throwing their arms up, this behavior acts as a silent claim to the immediate environment. Research indicates that these expansive movements are primary methods for communicating authority and establishing a power position over others without using words.

    An addressee point is a specific gesture used during conflictual interactions to attribute a transgression to another person. By pointing, an individual can effectively escalate a situation to a terminal point or signal a firm directive, such as telling someone to leave. It serves as a nonverbal counter-move to dominance displays, asserting control over the direction and outcome of the confrontation.

    Displacement activities are nonverbal behaviors that occur when a person experiences high stress or a desire to flee a situation but cannot do so. These often manifest as self-soothing behaviors, such as fiddling with a ring or checking one's feet. This nervous energy leaks out through small, repetitive actions, signaling that the individual's brain is processing a flight response during an intense power dynamic.
