50/50
Concept used in Rhizome Lee's Subbody method called 50% inside, 50% outside emphasizing the practice that 50% of our attention is to be internal and the other 50% external. This way, we are not neglecting neither outside world nor inside world.
To the pupil of Jersey Grotowski, Stephen Wangh, the 50/50 concept is the third paradox of acting.

8-Channel Model
A Subbody model from Rhizome Lee, who organizes varying qualias into eight channels: (1) Body, (2) Movement; (3) Visual; (4) Audio; (5) Emotion; (6) Human Relationship; (7) World = Self; (8) Thinking—each with introvert and extrovert qualities.
Channels interact and overlap: sensations, emotions, or movements in one can provoke or bleed into another, creating multi-resonant, dimensional experience.
The Body channel includes physical sensations; Movement covers patterns like sway, vibration, or collapse; Visual and Audio encompass perception and sound, while Emotion relates to inner “weather.” Human Relationship addresses interaction and co-body experiences, World = Self unites identity and environment, and Thinking involves logic, judgment, and koan-like collapses.
The center of the model is the non-dual zone which blends all channels, dissolving distinctions.
