The vowel-points are motion-notation

⭐ The centrepiece, and it is a documented thirteenth-century pose-sequence.

Abulafia's manuals do not say "meditate on the letters." They give a drill: take a letter, sound it with each of the five voices in turn, one full breath apiece — and move your head with the vowel. Each voice has its own motion, and this app states those motions in exactly one place — the letters panel, per voice, where they have been written out since long before this room existed. They are not repeated here, and the postures room does not repeat them either: it animates that same text. Then the next letter, and the next, until the combinations outrun meaning.

Now look at the marks themselves. Cholam is a dot written above the letter — and its motion goes up, to a point overhead. Chirik is a dot written below — and its motion goes down, to a point beneath. Tzere is two dots side by side, level — and its motion sweeps level, twice. The sign and the motion are the same gesture, written once on the page and once in the air. On this reading the nikkud are not pronunciation aids at all. They are notation for a body, and a vowelled Hebrew word is a score.

⚠ Said precisely, because it matters: Abulafia prescribes the motions, in prose, and describes the vowels' natures. He draws no diagram of a head tracing a vowel-sign, and the "the trail is the sign" reading is this app's, not his. It is offered because it is striking and because you can check it against the marks yourself — not because a medieval authority said it. The five motions themselves live in exactly one place in this app (the letters panel, per voice) and the postures room animates that same data rather than restating it.
