| First use | Star Wars, Sith Code line 3 (S595): go {ra}, la-mi wi-ra-be |
Composition
wi (will/intention) + ra (force/energy) = will-force. Head: ra (it IS force; characterized as willed/directed). wi-ra-be (composable) = power growing = gaining directed power.
Definition
Directed power; authority; will-force. Force (ra) organized and directed by intention (wi). The energetic capacity to cause change when that capacity is in service of deliberate purpose. Power as command of force, not mere possession of it.
Notes
Middle position in the Sith causal chain: ra (undirected strength) → wi-ra (directed power) → wi-du (W175, victory). Distinct from: ra (primitive, undirected); fa-wi-ra (W172, passion: initiates at affect; wi-ra: initiates at intention, no affective component). Power is colder; passion is warmer.
