Commoveri

Commoveri is a term used in niche sociocultural writings to denote a theoretical mechanism by which individuals' affective states become synchronized within a network, producing coordinated action. The term is not part of established scholarly nomenclature and has no single, widely accepted definition. It is sometimes described as a form of collective motivation or emotional contagion that operates through shared signals such as messages, memes, rituals, or other coordinated cues that align feelings and intentions across participants.

Etymology: From commovere ("to move together") in Latin, though the coinage is informal and its precise origin is unclear.

Usage and context: In online communities and social movements, commoveri is used to discuss how digital communication may foster rapid mobilization by aligning emotions. Critics argue it can oversimplify complex dynamics or enable manipulation.

In literature and media, commoveri appears as a speculative concept to explore how networks may generate synchronized responses to events, narratives, or campaigns, particularly in science fiction or theoretical essays.

Limitations: Because commoveri lacks wide consensus or rigorous empirical validation, it should be treated as a provisional concept rather than a definitive theory. See also: collective action, social contagion, emotional contagion, online mobilization.
