grounded in Gustave Le Bon and Edward Burnays’ writings
three tendencies of inter-herd relations
… to perceive a herd (A; “public”) as influenced by another herd (B; “semi-public”)
… to ascribe a share of voice (f(A); “public opinion”) in the activity of another herd (f(B’); “semi-public activity”) [ co-valent bonding ]
… to exert share of voice in matters of intra-herd influence [ co-valent lepton intermingling ]
[valences of a herd]
stages of herd progression
stereotype enmeshment & genesis
“sacrifice freedom… in order to stay in a herd”
intra-generate destination stereotypes [ which biases away from liberty in destinations ]
destination dynamics: multi-dimensional state distributions created in prime distributions
stereotype crystallization & maintenance
“sacrifice of freedom… leads to an unwillingness to change”
intra-generate journey stereotypes [ which biases away from liberty in journeys ]
journey dynamics: multi-dimensional, multi-valent polymorphic state transformations operating in prime configurations
stereotype attribution & enforcement
“because all sacrificed… reasons are developed to insist on sacrifice”
enforce fit to inversely extra-generate destination stereotypes and journey stereotypes [ which enforces the reduction of liberty ]
[ redacted ]
stereotype amplification & production
“group association… satisfaction of vanity, creation of enlarged self importance”
proselytize to maintain inverse extra-generation of destination stereotypes and journey stereotypes [ which maintains the herd’s cohort attrition and growth rates ]
