Abstract: I propose a mathematical model for quantifying willpower and an application based on the model. Volitional Motion Theory (VMT) is a mathematical model that draws on classical mechanics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, information theory, and philosophy. The resulting numbers are statistical theoretical values deduced using observable data. VMT can be applied to a variety of fields, including behavioral science, behavioral economics, and computational neuroscience. For example, ”What is animal spirit in economics?” VMT is one proposal to answer this question. In addition, a scheduling application has been created to validate VMT. This application is open to the public for anyone to use.
