Species principle: Falling Flight
Turn falling into flying.

Species principle: Glide
Stretch into flight.
A path appears when the body learns to stretch between what is separate.
Sunda Flying Lemurs, or colugos, use a large gliding membrane stretching between limbs, body, and tail to glide efficiently between trees.
