Motive and Motivational Vector in Semantic Space
For the subject of will requirement would be defined as motive that generates individual actions aimed at reaching specific conditions for its realization (in every type of subjective reality), and actualized as a common principle, organizing the actions in the subject reality (or interaction – in the object reality).
The subject of requirement creates all kinds of variants of emotionally experiencing the need in all subjective realities (the subject realities in general). The subject of will, by analogy, creates all options of reaching the conditions necessary for requirement realization for the entire subject reality. A concrete option is realized by a specific subject of action (perception) in the context of a specific subject reality through his individual act. Probabilities of the respective options depend on the studied mentality.
A motive is realized as a principle of "the least action" that performs a choice of a specific means of requirement satisfaction under given conditions. A motivational vector can be empirically associated with the motive as an "ideal" direction to which all specific actions (behavioral acts) tend under certain conditions. This is a sort of an analog to a "force field" around which all actions radiate within the limits of various reference systems.
A motivational vector in the object space creates "force tension" in relation to objects as means of need realization, and it actually determines the goal function of subjectness to reveal the sense of a concrete mentality through requirements and means of their attainment.
The greatest effect belongs to those means that are oriented in the direction of the motivational vector and have a maximal rigidity. Consequently, the most effective means of requirement satisfaction are correlated with the corresponding motivational vector in the context of a certain mentality.
The result of activity is experienced in each kind of subjective reality in the proprio-, extero- and interoceptive sensory variants, and it is to be defined as a vector, opposite to the direction of the characteristic deficiency that we experience interoceptively (emotionally). It crosses the zero point of maximal relaxation or minimal tension that we are able to reach assuming the conditions given.
Hence the concept of "motivational space", in which it is possible to split objects into motivational components related to different conditions of satisfying all kinds of urgent needs. A minimal set of a certain number of motivational vectors constitutes the basis for the corresponding motivational space. This way, any object as a means of satisfying a number of requirements can be decomposed on the mental map into motivational directions and be correlated with the urgent requirements of a given mentality. Therefore, any kind of behavior can be analyzed through a certain number of motivational vectors, and its sense can be revealed (for example, social behavior).
Yet it is impossible to definitely express a motive through the motivation vector, since it can be correlated (as a direction toward the "ideal object") with different concrete requirements in different subjective realities. So, specific motivations/inclinations do not determine a motive. Nevertheless, the motivational vector can be calculated in the semantic space through the degree of preference (desirability) of objects under given conditions and also an ideal object can be formally defined (described) as a probable, not yet existing conceptual structure.
