Systemic distortions announce themselves through the body before they become cognitively legible. This paper presents the somatic signatures of the 22 Arcana—body-level detection signals that enable practitioners to identify distortion patterns through felt sensation rather than analytical observation alone. Each Arcana produces characteristic physical responses: specific tensions, energy shifts, breath patterns, and impulses that serve as early-warning indicators. By mapping these signatures, practitioners gain access to a pre-cognitive detection layer that operates faster than rational analysis. This work bridges the Myth-Tech pattern language (Truong, 2026a) with the Emotional Indicators of Compromise framework (Truong, 2025b), establishing somatic intelligence as the foundational sensing layer for systemic recognition.
