The paper presents the results of research on the creation of a mathematical model of moral choice based on the development of the approach proposed by V. A. Lefebvre. Unlike V. A. Lefebvre, who considered a very speculative situation of a subject’s moral choice between abstract “good” and “evil” under pressure from the outside world, taking into account the subjective perception of this pressure by the subject, our study considers a more mundane and practically significant situation. The case is considered when the subject, when making decisions, is guided by his individual perception of the outside world (which may be distorted, for example, due to external purposeful informational influence on the subject and manipulation of his consciousness), and “good” and “evil” are not abstract, but are conditioned by a value system adopted in a particular society under consideration and tied to a specific ideology/religion, which may be different for different societies.

As a result of the conducted research, a basic mathematical model has been developed, and special cases of its application have been considered. Some patterns related to moral choice are revealed, and their formal description is given. In particular, the situation of manipulation of consciousness is considered in the language of the model, the law of reducing the “morality” of a society consisting of so-called free subjects (that is, those who strive to act in accordance with their intentions and correspond in their actions to the image of their “I”) is formulated.
