I posed a question to y'all: WHAT IS WALKING?

Boosted a few things from the internet on Walking Simulation:
Passive-dynamics presupposes that the motion we understand as walking may in fact largely be the natural dynamical consequence of the mass properties of the human body. That is, people may mostly let their legs swing as they would on their own, then add a little control and power, yielding a gait with inherently low energetic and control demands.
Human walking can be approximated as a mechanical process governed by Newton's laws of motion and not controlled.
Some Results in Passive-Dynamic Walking (Garcia, Ruina & Coleman)

Look at how this fine human specimine above is built in comparison to the "Walking Machine" in the previous post. Look how the Mass is arranged. The majority of the Mass is in the big mellon head plus about 250 lbs of serious Camero Mullet, back hair and the trunk. The majority of the mass is dristributed atop to legs that are relatively less massive.

So I pose the question again . . . WHAT IS WALKING?
12-Piece,

May I suggest a warning be placed on your forum that food not be consumed while reading your posts. I almost choked on dinner while reading about the "Camaro Mullet".
