FIVE TENETS OF SOCIONOMICS: 1. Social mood motivates social actions, not the other way around.
2. Social mood is endogenously regulated, not prompted by outside forces.
3. Social mood is patterned according to a robust fractal called the Elliott Wave model. Robust fractals are patterned but quantitatively variable.
4. Social mood is unconscious, unremembered and constantly fluctuating.
5. Waves of social mood arise when humans interact socially. The process appears to be related to the herding impulse.
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
