Abstract
In this paper we create a model of particle motion on a three-dimensional lattice using discrete random walk with small steps. We rigorously construct a probability space of the particle trajectories. Unlike deterministic approach in classical mechanics, here we use probabilistic properties of particle movement to formally derive analogues of Newton's first and second laws of motion. Similar probabilistic models can potentially be applied to justify laws of thermodynamics in a consistent manner.
