Explanation

"Left beating directional preponderance" is a term used in medicine to describe a condition where a person's eyes move more when they are turned to the left than when they are turned to the right. This is often a sign of an imbalance in the inner ear, which helps control balance and eye movements. It's like having a scale that tips more to one side than the other, but in this case, it's the eyes that are "tipping" more to the left.
