Is it fair to think of forced action as a negative degree of freedom? Eg you can’t stop breathing. It’s a negative degree of freedom.

I never understood the definition of degree of freedom. If you can turn your head, you have a degree of freedom. But an owl can turn its head all the way around, what’s that, a super degree of freedom?

No real confusion there. It’s just a constrained degree of freedom and the own is less constrained than we are (but still constrained… it can’t rotate like a wheel)
