The Fifth Law of Learning
The fifth law of learning depends on understanding the factors within fun. Recall, that fun consists of four main factors: expectation, value, joy and willpower. And being consistent, the definitions for value, expectation and willpower carry the same meaning within the context of fun as they do with motivation. As a result, there is no need to redefine or state them here. Instead, I need only provide a definition for joy.
Joy is an emotion that serves as one method of free-will communication between the three types of consciousness; and this communication results from an ostensibly positive experience.
In its current form, joy is not as detailed as it can be. Instead, I further claim that joy is the difference between happiness and pleasure, where happiness and pleasure are defined as stated in chapter one.
Most importantly, there exists an interconnected aspect between motivation and fun. Meaning that, the purpose of fun is to enable motivation (willpower to be exact) to recover and grow.
At this point, I am now able to clearly define an approximate definition for fun.
Fun is the interconnectedness of consciousness that varies inversely with willpower and varies directly with the product of value, expectation and joy. In symbolic form, letting F = fun, v = value, e = expectation, j = joy, W= willpower, h = happiness and p = pleasure, then one approximation of fun is:
Alternatively,
The Fifth Law of Learning:
Fun is used by the learner, at the end of a learning session, in order to establish a healthy habit of repeated learning sessions.
To reiterate, this fifth law is extremely critical because it states that fun is never the goal of any learning session. Fun must be applied after any learning session. However, some individuals require much shorter learning intervals, which means these individuals require many more reward-recuperative phases in order to convince themselves to continue learning.

I appreciate your time in reading my blog post. Next Monday I will upload the next part of Chapter-2: The Laws of Learning, from my self-development book, How Does Studying Work?
