Literature employs "volition" as a multifaceted concept that captures both the conscious exercise of will and its interplay with instinct and automaticity. Philosophers like Spinoza and Kant use the term to equate volition with understanding and moral imperatives, thereby framing it as a cornerstone of ethical decision-making [1, 2, 3]. In narrative works, authors evoke volition to illustrate decisive actions and moments of personal agency, as seen in the rapid, almost instinctive movements of a mighty whale [4] or the self-directed run of a character in the wild [5]. At the same time, the term is invoked in discussions that contrast deliberate inner resolve with mere physical impulse or automatic reactions, probing the intricate relationship between mind, motive, and movement [6, 7].
