Will and Quantification

While Will is, in itself, indeterminate, specification, e. g. via Intention, facilitates the quantification of it. For example, the following sequence entails four exercises of Will--the transition from sitting to standing, from standing to walking, from walking to running, and from running to bouncing a ball while running. In other words, the act of dribbling a basketball can be characterized as entailing a quantity of four units of Will. Now, that the transition merely from sitting to standing itself entails a manifold of motor activity shows that the establishment of a unit of such quantification is arbitrary. Nevertheless, the example demonstrates that under some circumstances different acts can be compared in terms of quantity of Will, e. g. dribbling entails more Will than does walking.
