Will Test

The will test is what is commonly as of 2018 known as a ‘shit test’, but it is an action performed by someone to see if the target can hold frame, which is to say hold its will up high in the face of adversity or confusion. The motor impetus is Evolution, i.e. the selection of evolution, which cannot operate otherwise than as a test, of survival and accumulation. Evolution is an order of change, and change is difference, and things cannot be different except as more or less in some manner, which is to say that even though most all humans have two hands, none have perfectly alike hands, for they differ in length, and virtually every other feature but that they are two hands. Now, outside of some basal equalities, such as indeed two hands, the more or less of a difference accumulates—which is to say that differential accumulation is an unavoidable fact of evolution, for change would be naught but chaos if it didn't accumulate (and indeed, with some regularity and temporal consistency), lest it be vacuous. To know a difference, things are tested, since difference in response is what makes a thing unique or what exhibits its quality.
