Aliases

FM
animal movement
nonhuman movement

Definition

FM is used when the response implies ordinary animal movement. It covers movement that fits the expected action pattern of the animal or nonhuman creature.

Conditions

The perceived action is movement.
The action belongs to an animal or nonhuman creature acting in a species-appropriate way.
The response does not show clearly human or anthropomorphic movement.

Cautions

If the action is genuinely human or anthropomorphic, use scoring-input/determinants/M.
If the movement belongs to an inanimate object, use scoring-input/determinants/m.
Animal content alone is not enough. There has to be perceived movement.
