This idea ponders the possibility of equalizing the "toes" via a hydraulic or magnaferric fluid. In this scenario, upon foot fall, the toes would contour to the ground in a "floating" state as the fluid equalized around the circuit. Then, as the foot is called upon to balance and carry weight, the valves would close and the fluid become static. Now the actuators can do thier work. It's a kind of a two state machine. Passive / for quick, dynamic conformation. And active for dynamic balance.
