Meaning and scope
Definition
Reclining pose is a static body arrangement with most of the body supported by ground, bedding, furniture, or another surface. It does not determine sleeping, resting, illness, emotion, or narrative.
In more detail
A view showing torso, legs, and their relation to support makes the reclining body legible. Eye state, action, place, and person attributes are separate choices. It is distinct from seated pose and sleeping state.
Includes
- A single person's static reclining pose supported by a surface
Excludes
- Sleeping or awake-resting state
- Seated pose
- A particular emotion or narrative
What this does not imply
- Sleeping
- resting
- illness
- emotion
- or person attributes
Variability
Side, back, or front orientation can be adjusted separately. Specify closed eyes separately when sleep is wanted.
