Will and Relaxation

In Formaterialism, Will initiates motions, and Consciousness terminates them. The transition in Experience characterized as 'relaxation' often combines Will and Consciousness, and, so, in such cases, does not entail a termination of Motility, e. g. the graceful motions of an artist or athlete can be described as 'relaxed acceleration'. Conversely, activities commonly describable as 'slowing down' or 'stopping' are not necessarily to be classified as 'relaxation'. As Newtonian Physics shows, and as is exemplified in the use of brakes in a vehicle, slowing down and stopping can be effected by Motility exerted in a direction opposite to that of given motions. Likewise, the experiential transition from a sprint to sitting down in a chair is not necessarily an act of relaxation.
