RR-1 Poised Receding

Visual Description

The limbs withdraw delicately towards the torso, with elbows tucked by the waist protectively and hands folded privately. If the hands or fingers are spread out, they will shrink and contract inward. If the arms are extended, they will return, folding themselves into the body's centerline. The body remains rigid, defended and protective.

Cognitive Etiology

This signal marks the onset of a cognitive withdrawal of attention from the outer world, causing the limbs to contract inward towards the torso. But as a Judgment process, this withdrawal is also rigid, careful, meticulous and controlled. Unlike Pi, whose withdrawal from the outer world is more fluid and lethargic, when Ji withdraws the body is "strung up" and tight. This reflects the protective manner in which the cognitive withdrawal occurs; with an increasing focus on  essential details of the topic at hand. The delicacy of the hands reflect the delicacy of thoughts.
