Most existing theories of motivation describe it in broad, qualitative terms. In 2025, Lagun's Law was introduced as a mathematical formula for drive, grounded in Cognitive Drive Architecture (CDA). The model defines drive through six interacting components: ignition (Primode), amplification (CAP), adaptability (Flexion), stability (Anchory), resistance (Grain), and variance (Slip). A published analysis of secondary student datasets showed that this law predicts academic performance, providing the first empirical support. This article summarizes the core model and proposes a practical framework for applying it in high school settings. By showing how each component can be measured with everyday student behaviors, the article opens a path for future primary research and highlights the promise of Lagun's Law as a foundation for the science of drive.
