Abstract: The phenomenon of student procrastination was formalized. The introduced parameters and variables numerically measure the significance of one (out of four) factor, accounting for 96%. This allowed us to calculate all model strengths of the y-factor meanings and estimate the one-day values of their strength for a procrastinating student over 24 days of attending classes: c21 = 0.97892, c22 = 0.20412, c23=(-0.0027)2, c24=(-0.0032)2. Expressed numerically as a linear combination of the values of 16=4*4 parameters for random model 4 y-variables, only 1 linear combination equal to the z-variable z1 is highlighted. When constructing its meaning, phrases from 4 initial meanings of the y-variables are used and a formula for estimating the magnitude of z-variability of student procrastination is found. Separately (using a random number generator uniformly distributed within the interval (-1;+1) the matrices Um4 (rang(Um4)=4) and Ym4 (rang(Ym4)=4) were modelled such that (1/m)UTm4Um4=I44, Ym4=Um4?1/244, Zm4=Ym4CТ44 (rang(Zm4)=4). The matrix of z-variable values z1,z2,z3,z4 Zm4=Ym4CT44 has a covariance matrix rather than a correlation matrix, since its pseudo-eigenvectors satisfy the relations СТ44C44?I44, С44CТ44=I44. A system of multi-meaning equations with 4 semantic unknown variables was developed, consisting of 4 identical m4-meaning equations. One of its solutions was found in the form of a compound sentence. For the derived formula for the z-value z=y1*0,9789+y2*0,2041+y3*(-0,0027)+y4*(-0,0032) of a student, the dynamics of its values over 24 days was visualized (Figure 3).
