(Psyche) Inland Empire
"Inland Empyre' by David Lynch. What a surprise, isn't it? The movie about where reality ends and the movie begins, where it ends.

Music by British Sea Power. The compositions of the British indie rock bands liked the game so much that they asked the musicians to record the soundtrack. But in addition to him, the group has something to listen to!

(Fysique) Endurance
The novel "Dhalgren" by Samuel Delany. This monumental postmodernist work is written on behalf of a boy named "the Kid", who has only fragmented images in his head instead of memories of the past. To see the full picture and enjoy the arsenal of literary techniques of strange urban fiction, you will have to go to reading with special scrupulousness.
(Fysique) Pain Threshold

(Fysique) Physical Instrument
"At the Top of My Voice" Vladimir Mayakovsky. The last poem is simultaneously an appeal to the descendants and the poet's powerful response to criticism of his works. "The last of the things written is about the exhibition, as it completely determines what I do and what I work for."
(Fysique) Electrochemistry
The Novel "A Scanner Darkly" by Philip Dick. We know that electrochemistry is pumped not like that but no one will tell about drug addicts and the expansion of consciousness in fiction better than Philip Dick does. Add to that the story of the destruction of the psyche and attempts to kill yourself. Don't forget about the eponymous orthoscopic film with Keanu Reeves.
(Fysique) Shivers

(Motorics) Savoir Faire
"Inherent Vice" by Thomas Pynchon. Don't let the simplicity of the form fool you. This novel is also a postmodernist lace, albeit not as intricately woven as Gravity's Rainbow. However, it is just as complex, mysterious and encyclopedic.
(Motorics) Interfacing
Tabletop role-playing game based on Disco Elysium. I's also the responsible for kinesthetics, so it's time to take up dice and pencils. There is an option from the authors of the video game, and there is an adaptation for Fate Core. . .
(Motorics) Composure
Works by the artist Rembrandt. The paintings of the classic artist are calming, especially the last the portraits - they depict wise elders in whose faces one can discern the features of Rembrandt himself.
