Animals have evolved a wide variety of strategies for locomotion. This allows them to search for resources, 37 adequate habitats, or mating partners, as well as escape predators. Yet, despite this diversity, all animal 38 movement is fundamentally a physical act, and must therefore be governed by physical laws. Determining the 39 form of these laws, which must emerge from the interaction of nervous system, musculature, body mechanics, 40 and the environment [1, 2], is a fundamental and inspiring problem in modern biology [3], with applications 41 in engineering fields such as robotics [4, 5]. 42Recent work has leveraged the development of low-cost, high-detail imaging technologies and advanced 43 data analysis techniques to provide fine-grained characterisations of animal behaviour. For instance, pio-44 neering work on the nematode worm C. elegans demonstrated the existence of a low-dimensional postural 45 basis in which to describe the animals’ shape changes over time [6], and similar bases have been found for 46 other slender-bodied animals including zebrafish [7], snakes [8], and the Drosophila melanogaster larva [9]. 47 Subsequent work, particularly in the nematode, has exploited such low-dimensional postural bases to theo-48 retically investigate a wide range of behaviours using data-driven methods [6, 10–13]. However, principled, 49 interpretable theories of animal behaviour are lacking, and it remains unclear why animal behaviour often 50 appears to be low-dimensional at all, or what factors determine the dynamics and statistics within the 51 low-dimensional postural mode space. 52
