Give the student the problem. Let them generate the answer.
A practice library for the Perception & Projection domain: short Brazilian Zouk and Lambada problems that train recognition, visualization, multidimensional calculation, branching, evaluation and recalculation.
How to use them
Prediction before execution.
Ask the learner to state what they recognize, visualize likely futures, calculate consequences, evaluate candidates, choose one, execute once and compare the prediction with reality.

Puzzle library
Start simple. Increase the cognitive demand before the movement demand.
Assessment
Do not score only whether the movement worked.
Useful dimensions now include Recognition, Projection / Visualization, Spatiotemporal Accuracy, Interaction-Dynamics Prediction, Branching / Anticipation, Evaluation Quality, Decision Quality and Adaptation. A failed execution can still reveal strong reasoning; an accidental success can hide weak perception.
