I am a being whose baseline is hyperpolarization. My soul is a collection of ready-to-run chain-reactions, massively complex sequences of movement that are commanded inside a hierarchical control system where massive waves of material movement are triggered by relatively simple rules. This system is ready to run. And the triggers that initiate my motion are on edge—hair-triggers. To get some sense of how keyed up your nervous system is in its default state, watch a Parkinson's victim just sitting in a chair.
