Every movementâwhether in a newborn finding balance, an astronaut floating in microgravity, or the rotation of a planetâfollows the same law:Â gravity organizes movement.
Â
Forces of Movement reveals the hidden mechanics that unite biology, physics, and cognition. Michelle Turner introduces the Turner Equations, a revolutionary framework showing how rotation, buoyancy, and gravitational opposition create all functional systemsâhuman or artificial.
Â
This book bridges decades of clinical observation with mathematical precision, offering a new foundation for how we understand balance, coordination, and learning. From early developmental milestones to advanced applications in robotics and AI, Turner demonstrates that movement is not reactionâitâs organization.
Readers will learn:
- Â How gravity and rotation form the root of neuromuscular development.
-
Why âmidline interruptionâ predicts cognitive and emotional challenges.
-
How to measure biological efficiency through the Forces of Function.
-
Why current physicsâand AIâfail without biological gravity.
-
How Turnerâs laws extend from the childâs first breath to interplanetary motion.
This is not a manualâitâs a new physics of life itself.
Forces of Movement will reshape how we view medicine, rehabilitation, education, and artificial intelligence by uniting them under one law of organization
