The data presented here generalizes the notion of homotetic behavior in the time domain for learned motor sequences, that is, the presence of an invariant structure in such sequences, from typing to handwriting. Furthermore, it extends the principle to the space-time domain for unrestricted, continuous movements. An interpretation of the teleological value of this behavior is provided.
