| abstract = 
Using tools from dynamical systems theory and systems identification theory 
we develop the study of primitives for human motion which we refer to as <i>movemes</i>. We 
introduce basic definitions of dynamical independence of LTI systems and segmentability of 
signals and, for two dimensional motions, we develop classification and segmentation algorithms. 
We test our ideas on data sampled from four human subjects who were engaged in a 
simple real-life activity including two movemes. Our experiments show that we are able to 
distinguish between the two movemes and recognise them even when they take place in an 
activity containing more than one moveme.
