A collective self reading its current window as one to leave, so its members read their reach as wider after any change than if they stay.

Hunger for change (noun) means: A collective self reading its current window as one to leave, so its members read their reach as wider after any change than if they stay. It emerges from collective self, reach, read, current: Once the current window is read as the wall, change of any kind reads as widening; the report favours leaving over any one destination.
