*Ordinarily means:* a widespread sense of well-being and optimism, especially about the economy

Morale read as rising across the members of a collective self as their own parameters move away from walls, which then moves how they read those who govern.

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [morale](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-morale.collective), [collective self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-collective-self.shared), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [rise](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-rise.movement), [across](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-across.spatial), [member](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-member.social), [parameter](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-parameter.condition), [motion](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-motion.movement), [away](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-away.spatial), [wall](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wall.range-end), [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension), [government](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-government.administrative)

**Through:** Each member's own widening window is read as the group's, and the group's read attaches to whoever sets its walls; the credit follows the feeling, not a model of cause.

**Novel properties:**
- a private read that becomes a public verdict
- credit assigned by mood

## Examples
- British commentators in the mid-1990s debated why an economic recovery was not producing a feel-good factor among voters. *(politics)*
