+## Motion
+
+### motion-duration-long
+Longer duration for complex multi-step animations or large-scale layout shifts. Use sparingly.
+**U:** complex-animation, layout-shift, multi-step
+**R:** Use sparingly for complex animations. NEVER use for simple UI interactions.
+
+### motion-duration-medium
+Standard duration for elements entering or exiting the viewport, such as modals and dropdowns.
+**U:** dropdown-appear, modal-open, tooltip-show
+**R:** Use for elements entering or leaving the viewport. Maximum recommended duration for UI interactions.
+
+### motion-duration-micro
+Fast micro-interactions like hover, focus ring, and color shifts.
+**U:** color-shift, focus-ring, hover-transition
+**R:** Use for instantaneous feedback on hover and focus states.
+
+### motion-duration-short
+Quick transitions for state changes like expand/collapse, toggles, and visibility changes.
+**U:** expand-collapse, toggle, visibility-change
+**R:** Use for interactive state changes that need to feel responsive.
+
+### motion-easing-enter
+Decelerating easing for elements entering the viewport or appearing on screen.
+**U:** element-appearing, enter-animation, modal-open
+**R:** RECOMMENDED default for enter animations. Element decelerates into its final position.
+
+### motion-easing-exit
+Accelerating easing for elements exiting the viewport or leaving the screen.
+**U:** element-leaving, exit-animation, modal-close
+**R:** Use for elements leaving the viewport. Element accelerates away.
+
+### motion-easing-hover
+Easing for hover state changes and micro-interactions.
+**U:** button-hover, hover-state, micro-interaction
+**R:** Use for hover state changes.
+
+### motion-easing-linear
+Constant motion with no acceleration. Use for continuous animations like progress bars or loaders.
+**U:** continuous-animation, loader, progress-bar
+**R:** Use only for constant, uninterrupted motion.
+
+### motion-easing-move
+Smooth easing for elements moving or morphing within the viewport.
+**U:** morph-animation, position-change, size-change
+**R:** Use for elements that move or change shape on screen.
+
+### motion-transition-enter
+Transition for elements entering the viewport, such as modals, dropdowns, and tooltips.
+**U:** dropdown-appear, modal-open, tooltip-show
+**R:** Use for elements appearing on screen. Element decelerates into final position.
+
+### motion-transition-exit
+Transition for elements exiting the viewport, such as closing modals and dismissing dropdowns.
+**U:** dropdown-dismiss, modal-close, tooltip-hide
+**R:** Use for elements leaving the screen. Shorter than enter to feel snappy.
+
+### motion-transition-hover
+Transition for hover state changes on interactive elements like buttons and links.
+**U:** button-hover, interactive-hover, link-hover
+**R:** Use for all hover state transitions. Keeps interactions feeling instantaneous.
+
+### motion-transition-stateChange
+Transition for state changes like toggles, expand/collapse, and visibility changes.
+**U:** accordion, expand-collapse, toggle

+Spacious spacing for major layout divisions and visual separation between content blocks.
