Power Sensing
Essence: direct mobilization of force to overcome resistance and establish control.
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. In stillness, control is held effortlessly, without need for display or reassurance - escalation is reserved for when a real threshold is crossed.
Manifests as domineering, kinetic, and uninhibited behavior.
