SOMA
Each person possesses a body that is inherently different and special, a fundamental truth of human physiology. This concept can be effectively summarized by the term SOMA, borrowed from the Greek language where it signifies "body." SOMA serves as a useful descriptor, not only for the specific anatomical components deployed when undertaking a task (be it an arm, a leg, or any other part), but also for the cumulative properties and characteristics of the whole Klimber.
The profound uniqueness of every individual is evident in a myriad of physical details. Specific metrics and features—such as the precise length of one's arms, their Body Mass Index (BMI), overall stature, and chronological age—are just a few of the many variables that collectively influence and shape how a Klimber interacts with their environment and executes various Aktions. These characteristics mean that no two people will perform the same task in an identical manner.
Furthermore, the human body exhibits a remarkable degree of versatility and functional adaptability. This means that a singular goal can often be accomplished through various physical means. The inherent flexibility of the body allows for a certain interchangeability in how tasks are approached. For instance, the simple act of Reach for a target is not exclusively a function of the upper limbs; one can achieve this same action using an arm, or, in a different context, a leg to extend towards a desired position. This adaptability highlights the sophisticated and unique capabilities embedded within each individual's distinct SOMA.
