Will, Comprehension, Habit

According to the Formaterial model of Experience, Will exceeds its antecedents, while Comprehension, in its fundamental homeostatic function, restores connection of the novelty with the given, e. g. via a plan of action the first moment of which is the given situation that Will exceeds. Now, Repetition, as has been previously discussed, can be analyzed as a case of minimal differentiation, i. e. because a second cycle is distinct from a previous one. It can, thus, also be understood as a combination of Difference and Sameness in which the latter predominates. Now, 'a' habit is, in fact, a generalization of a repetition of a behavioral sequence. Hence, Habit is an experiential episode constituted by a predominance of Comprehension over Will.
