System Types

Definitions of system types or structures.

Headspace ¦ Members ¦ Types


Headspace

Fluilocus: A system with an unclear or ever-changing headspace/innerworld.

Nihilocus: A system with no headspace/innerworld.

Members

Circuitien: A system that goes through regular cycles of gaining and losing members.

Collectien: A system without a designated host.

Glactien: A system with an extremely stable member count; A system that gains or loses members rarely.

Types

Dreamway: Dreamway systems are for neuronarrators/people with MADD/similar experiences. A dreamway system is like a gateway system, but the worlds you can access are your daydreams/paracosms.

Fractal: Every system member is a complex and changing subsystem.

Gateway: Systems with a "gateway" or connection to another world/universe that system members can walk back and forth through.

Hemisystem: A group of members, subsystems, and sidesystems that may be connected to each other or disconnected to the other half of the system in some way.

Median: On the spectrum between singlet and plural. One person made of multiple facets, where boundaries between system members may be blurry or not as defined. May or may not see themselves as originating from one person.

Mixed: A system with median and multiple members.

Polyfaceted: A median system, usually with 100+ facets.

Polyfragmented: A system with a large amount of members, such as 100+. May have many layers or subsystems, and have fragments.

Polymultiple: A multiple system with 100+ "full" members.

Polyplural: A system with 100+ members. A general term.

Post-Median: A system that used to be median, but has become multiple.

Post-Multiple: A system that used to be multiple, but has become median.

Sidesystem: A term similar to subsystem, a sidesystem is a separate system standing metaphorically “to the side” or “next to” a main system. A sidesystem is different from a subsystem in that, instead of being stacked or being a system within a system, a sidesystem is its own completely separate system alongside the existing main system.

Subsystem: A system found within a larger system. Can be due to a system member being plural themselves. Can also refer to a group of members separateed in some way from the rest of the system.
