Volitional Motion Theory (VMT)
This work is based on the Volitional Motion Theory.
Paper
Theme
"Volitional Motion Theory (VMT)" is a theory that attempts to describe will and willpower as a mathematical model, by drawing an analogy with physics.
Purpose
By mapping human volitional activity to physical concepts such as "mass," "acceleration," and "energy," the aim is to create a reproducible mathematical model that allows decisions and actions to be quantitatively analyzed from the perspective of an observer.
Method
- Introduce an "equation of volitional motion" inspired by the equations of classical mechanics
- Describe the persistence and transition of cognition using abstract variables such as "pure mass," "pure acceleration," and "pure time"
- Develop the framework by incorporating analogies with probability, statistics, and thermodynamics
Applications
- Behavioral economics (application to utility theory)
- Sociology (collective will, convergence and diffusion of volition)
- Robotics (modeling the generality of human action)
- Relation to information thermodynamics (e.g., Maxwell’s demon)
Future Outlook
Although VMT is still a hypothetical and exploratory model, it can be seen as a modern attempt to bridge natural philosophy and science. Ultimately, it may provide a theoretical foundation for realizing a "human-centered society" and a "true capitalism."
