    The machine doesn't predict the future but changes reality so that said lethal predictions become real, the urge of knowing the death cause is an anomalous effect designed to attract further preys.

    Interesting. The dialogue suggests this is pre Alicorn Twilight, yet she and Celestia share the same cause of death.
    So, either it's something specific to Alicorns or something unique to the story written before season 9 and 10 events could be factored in to the equation.

    The definition of "act of will" is:

    Example: Justin could win the football game if he willed it.

    Curiosity. Everyone has it,everyone wants to know things. If you could know your fate,what would you do? Would you want to know what awaits you? You could,maybe,try to prevent it,but death would hunt you down wouldn't it? Would you prefer to remain ignorant? Death gets us all anyway,why know the how.
    The machine,maybe,isn't evil at all. Just like Death isn't evil,death just does its job. So the machine,just like death,just does what it was design for.
    Curiosity killed the cat they say. In this case,more literal than ever.

    I'm just throwing out my own theory. But I think that act of will refers to suicide. Since Celestia and Twilight are alicorns, they would be the only ones powerful enough to bring their immortality to an end. In fact I would go as far to say that is the only wayban alicorn can die (in this story atleast). What do you guys think? Give me your opinion on this too.

      i think the ‘act’ of will will be against whoever made the box. considering it pricks the user and takes a small bit of blood, twilight and celestial had to give up a drop of blood to test it which is all an enemy would need to become powerful enough to take down equestria, and if an enemy that powerful were to try and take over the royals would have to willingly give their lives to take the enemy down and save everyone. The act of willingly giving their life, but also the act of willingly giving their blood to the box to see their fate.

      The title. It will be an act of will. In other words they aren't going to die unless they do it themselves. Suicide. Because the two sisters are already alicorns they would have the same prediction, and Twilight would have it for the same reason, because she's destined to be an alicorn and therefore she won't die unless she does it herself.
