===Socionomic actions===
Socionomic actions are actions of social aggregations that express trends and changes in social mood. Socionomic actions result from emotionally impelled decision-making in a social context of uncertainty (such as in financial markets, business, and politics) or arbitrariness (such as with regard to fads and fashions). 

==Similar ideas==
[[Jung]] wrote extensively about the [[collective unconscious]], which exactly parallels Prechter's description of the "mass mind"
 and the resemblance of the term "Socionomics" to "[[Socionics]]" is readily apparent.  Socionics is a branch of psychology that includes an intertype relations theory, based on the interaction of between personalities.

In classical antiquity, philosophers such as [[Plato]] acknowledged and discussed the paralleling of changes in different areas of culture, such as his saying "when the music changes, governments change."
