Proviception
proviception (n.) /ˌproʊ.vɪˈsɛp.ʃən/
From pro- ("forward, forth") + vi- (vidēre, "to see"; via, "way") + vic- / vice- (vicis, "turn, change, exchange"; as in vice versa) + -cept- (capere, "to take, grasp") + -ion (act or process). Literally, the process of taking hold, in turn, of the way forward.
Definition: The dynamic, reciprocal process of perceiving and reorienting oneself through the changing tensions between connection and constraint, holding and releasing. Awareness develops through an ongoing exchange between oneself and the world, so orientation is continually remade rather than settled in advance. (Note: claudeai was used to assist the process of consolidation and clarification)

Proviception
proviception (n.) /ˌproʊ.vɪˈsɛp.ʃən/ From Latin pro- ("forward, forth, on behalf of") + vidēre ("to see") + (capere, "to take, grasp"). Definition: The dynamic, reciprocal process of perceiving and reorienting oneself through the changing tensions between connection and constraint, holding and releasing. Awareness develops through an ongoing exchange between oneself and the world, so orientation is continually remade rather than settled in advance. Proviception arises in motion: past, present, and future are lived as a medium to move through, the perceiver is thus altered by what is perceived. (Note: used the assistance of claudeai to better clarify and consolidate the definition.)

Implex
implex (n.) /ˈɪmplɛks/
From Latin implexus, "entwined, enfolded" (in- + plectere, "to weave").
Definition: The inner, interwoven whole of a person's mind, body, and soul: the latent web of memory, sensation, instinct, and capacity that lies beneath conscious thought and shapes it. It is folded within rather than displayed.
(Paul Valéry coined the French l'implexe in nearly this sense, for the total potential of a person's being that any single thought or act only partly draws upon.)
(Note: I used Claude to help define the word in a detailed & therefore; more understandable way)
