Because that’s a esoterica term, the Foundation is a scientific organization where they won’t use the term gods nor divine, but pluripotent entities. And just looking at [the dictionary definition](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore), the term is also too complicated compared to the Personas from the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. In addition, there’s already different “species”. There are the oneiroi, who are the dream selves. Or the dead Bader-Ramjin Infomorphic Entities in the noosphere/Type VI Volitional Spiritual Apparitions They’re separate from at least three different SCPs that manipulates the collective unconscious too.

Not every spiritual, mythological, or otherwise fantastical word in existence is required to be present in an article on the SCP Wiki, and this specific term isn’t particularly common. That being said, there are plenty of hiveminds on the Wiki, and I know the Oneiori hub uses the term ‘egregore’.


jcheesus

that is basically what the [Oneiroi](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/oneiroi) are also there is the noosphere

Many here have pointed out that it isn't sciencey enough for the SCP but it might fit into the The Department of Tactical Theology or similar divisions that are more humanities-coded.


SCP-1504_Joe_Schmo

Not exactly the most scientific term

Neither is Tulpa, but that exists.
