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.

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [collective self](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-collective-self.shared), [reach](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-reach.action), [read](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-read.information), [current](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-current.present), [window](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-window.range), [leave](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-leave.movement), [member](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-member.social), [wide](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-wide.spatial), [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension), [change](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-change.process), [persist](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-persist.continue)

**Through:** Once the current window is read as the wall, change of any kind reads as widening; the report favours leaving over any one destination.

**Novel properties:**
- a want with no located object
- the present window read as the wall

## Examples
- Labour's landslide in the 1945 UK general election, weeks after victory in Europe, is often explained as a hunger for change after the war. *(politics)*
