Power Sensing
The Unflinching Will of the Present.
Sensing of Primacy and Subjugation
Power Sensing
Essence: direct, doubt-free mobilization of bodily and social force, serving the securing of resources and results.
Power relations are assessed immediately and acted upon without hesitation. Physical space, hierarchy, and resource acquisition are navigated through decisive assertion of will rather than negotiation. Body and will move as one, quick and sure, and what is wanted is pursued without inner hesitation.
Manifests as commanding, kinetic, and uninhibited behavior.
Sensing sure command of the body and of physical space
Antagonism relations ordered by strength and by control over others
Perceiving action unrestrained by rules, second thoughts, or shame
Extraversion direct, immediate pressing of one's will outward
Cognitive Level: force-resistance mapping, spatial-proprioceptive precision, hierarchy detection, vulnerability assessment
Social Level: informal power center, direct enforcement, competitive resource acquisition
Psychological Level: self-certainty, possessiveness, fearlessness, uninhibited sexuality
Biological Level: mobilized musculature, high pain tolerance, fast and accurate motor response
Suppressed: passivity, chronic deference.

Keeps the contest going.
Rivals are sought out and pressed repeatedly, and a struggle, once begun, continues well beyond victory.
