Abstract

This chapter considers human pattern formation systems for which pattern formation takes place in their ordinary states. Recall that the ordinary state is given by the brain state and variables describing force production as well as position and movement of the body and limbs. Pattern formation of ordinary states implies that the formation of patterns does not affect the structure of those systems. With respect to the system classes introduced in Chap. 5 (see Fig. 5.5) this further implies that we are dealing with A1 systems and all B systems. However, in fact, while the pattern emerges in an appropriately defined ordinary state and, consequently, the pattern does not involve structure components, the structure is not necessarily fixed. In particular, external forces may affect the structure of the systems under consideration in order to induce bifurcations that lead to the formation of BA and BBA patterns. Therefore, not only A1 systems and B systems are considered but also D0 and D2 systems. D1 and D3 systems are considered when considering single events of pattern formation (which will be explained in more detail in the sections below).

Notes

  1. 1.

    The walking Froude number is proportional to the square of the speed. In contrast, there is another Froude number that is defined by the speed divided by the square root of leg length and the earth gravitational constant. This classical Froude number is proportional to speed. The walking Froude number is just the square of the classical Froude number.
