Physical autonomy

Physical autonomy can be described as the experience of one's own body performing simple and complex actions entirely on its own accord. Depending on the intensity, this results in any required task becoming partially to completely autonomous in nature without the requirement of decision-making skills or conscious input.

At lower levels, the effect is partially controllable by commanding the body with simple thoughts. For example, thoughts such as "go to the toilet" or "go drink a glass of water" can result in the body performing these actions flawlessly when the tripper would otherwise struggle endlessly due to a lack of focus and motor control. This can often help the tripper perform necessary physical actions such as tending to bodily functions or avoiding danger when they would otherwise be too incapable, unconscious, or distractable to perform them.

At higher levels, this effect no longer requires verbal commands and becomes entirely automatic. It's worth noting that although this technically results in a loss of control, the body will usually only perform actions which the owner would have decided to perform were they capable of it themselves but can on rare occasions result in random or unwanted physical actions and movements.
