The Social Band

The time scale of human action extends from the relatively short-term behavior characterized by task behavior at the rational band to much longer periods. The chief characteristic of this longer time scale is that it is larger social; humans move throughout most hours, days and weeks in social communication with one another. Because the social band is obviously a very weak band, it is difficult to characterize in more complete terms. However, additional bands above the social band might include historical and evolutionary epochs as well.
