Will, Effort, Motility

The example of a paralyzed person seems to challenge the equation proposed here of Will and Motility, i. e. the example entails a distinction between attempting to set oneself in motion and successfully setting oneself in motion. However, on this model, Will is, in itself, indefinite effort, receiving determination only from the Formal Causality of Consciousness, e. g. through the positing of an intention. Hence, any inadequacy of effort is only relative to some posited end, i. e. is not intrinsic to Will itself. In other words, even the futile exertion of a paralyzed person trying to move a limb constitutes Motility, just not enough for that particular purpose.
