Anticipation

The preparatory movement that precedes the main action. Like a pitcher's wind-up or a jumper's crouch, anticipation signals intent and builds energy.

Core Principle

Movement in the opposite direction before the main action creates expectation and makes motion feel intentional.

Without anticipation:    ------->  (sudden, jarring)

With anticipation:    <-- ------->  (prepared, natural)
