Or it could be that the so-called `motive' or `intention' was merely a

Is it possible that you have made Calculus something more than it really is?
Could it JUST be a way of seeing a way to find the instantaneous slope of
an equations solution graph and the area between limits under that curve.

In differential geometry a curve with a given parameterization has a
velocity at a point. This is not a category error; it's a definition.

You can also look at this as being undefined for the point, but
defined for an interval on the curve which is arbitrarily close to
that point.

It may not be a category error, but a domain error... applying

This error is the basis of the classic paradox regarding immovable

Oh, I forgot to ask.
What about the flow in the opposite direction? Can the calculus tell us
anything about how we think about goal direction in human behavior?

Well, here's the thing: If a particle were following the curve defined by
that parameterization because of forces imposed by a field, and if all
forces on the particle instantaneously became zero, the particle would
continue to move with the mathematically defined velocity.
