Intentions and synergies the cases of control and speed comment on Di Paolo's 'interactive time travel'

In the following, I want to add to the examples and arguments presented by Di Paolo, and argue that his description of virtual tendencies is not just a viable solution for a more coherent conception of intentions in the realmof social-embodied interactions, but that it is closely linked to the concept of motor-synergies that are necessary in order to enable movement control. Two aspects about the human body, the degrees of freedom that it has available to move, and the speed with which it can adapt actions, illuminate this point.
