a nice minimal modeling of embodied cognition for a cat aiming where to jump would be here.
It’s a good visual at the adjusting process, the aligning is full body with the eyes as the fine tuning but the “go” moment for jumping is fullly engaged.
Basically, like knowing there’s a hole you can completely fit into utilizing your full body, mind, sense of location in the environment – all working together. But it’s not calculus.
