Sysling

Not to be confused with syslet.
A sysling (portmanteau of system + sibling) is a headmate that is related to one or more headmates in a system. This can be due to a single system member splitting into separate people, multiple shard seeds growing at the same time, or syslinghood can simply describe a close relationship between two or more headmates (like how a friendship can be so close that the friends consider each other siblings). 
Syslinghood can also come from fictional siblings from any sort of media forming in the system together, or syslings can be formed by system members having children of their own outside of splitting or the host planting shard seeds. Any system type of any origin can have syslings or an otherwise sysling relationship (or multiple all at once). 
Syslings are more likely to be affected by order effect, are more likely to be hosts and even share that power, or they can fill any role, or be without a role. It's important to remember that dynamics and overall relationship between in-system siblings are often just as complex as they are between siblings in the external world. Even if, for example, a fictional set of siblings from a piece of media are introjected, that does not always mean they'll share that exact relationship. 
==Subterms==
* Splitling: Syslings that come from the splitting of a headmate into multiple headmates and consider each other siblings. 
* Shardling / Seedling: Syslings that originate from the practice of a headmate, usually a host, purposefully taking pieces of themselves so that they can become their own sentient people. 
* Systwin / Syslet / Sysdruplet / etc. : Syslings created/formed/split together within minutes/days of each other can consider each other to be this. They can resemble fraternal or identical twins/triplets/quadruplets, and so on). 
==Related Terms==
This may be considered a type of dualter.
A form partner is a headmate that formed or was discovered at the same time as one or more other headmates, and may be a sysling of those headmates.
==History==
NeonWebb and The Etheridge Collective joint coined this term searching for a term that best fit their experiences. 
An example of syslings are Chokuto, Kodachi, and Makibishi of the Etheridge Collective, born within minutes of each other and are co-hosts.

Sysmedgenic

Sysmedgenic is an origin in which a system or headmate is formed from a negative / traumatic experience or experiences with a sysmed / s.
Examples of this include but are not limited to:
* Being fakeclaimed by a sysmed.
* A rude or even abusive therapist grooming a system or headmate into thinking they have DID / OSDD when they are non-disordered.

Systainer

A systainer is an alternative way to refer to a system's body in the shared reality. The term is a combination of system + container.
This may be useful for individuals who experience dysphoria when using the word 'body,' for example due to the extreme violence or sexual trauma which is frequently at the core of a trauma-based plurality's splits. Alternatively, this could be a preference due to having a non-organic alterhuman identity.

System

A system is the collection of people and entities, often called headmates, that share a single physical plural body. 
== Common Attributes ==
The experiences of plural systems are very diverse, and every system is different. However, there are certain attributes that are common among systems.
* Systems often have a dedicated name, separate from the body's or members' names. It's common for systems to have names that are more like titles than given names, such as being named after flowers, or cosmic themes, with adjectives applied.
* Members of systems may be co-conscious or not. Members may switch in and out, or they might always be active.
* Systems might have a headspace, which is a place where members exist and can interact. Systems that don't have this might still have internal communication.
* Members of systems might be able to share memories or emotions.
The System Functions and Terms that apply to systems categories list terms related to system attributes. 
== Formation ==
Systems can form at any point in life, through many different ways. Terms that describe how a system formed can be found in the system origins category.
== Symbols ==
The plural rings were created by Tracee of ouregaiya and/or Iris of Astraea in October 2011 and was spread through Email and Livejournal.https://lb-lee.dreamwidth.org/1009570.html
The ampersand was adopted by the community, and some systems prefer to be referred to as you& or similarly use ampersands in reference to themselves.
The treblesand was created anonymously and for the use of anyone under the plural umbrella.https://treblesand.dreamwidth.org/

System Accountability

System accountability describes the responsibility systems or members take or are assigned for the actions of their headmates. This can mean several things, including:
* taking collective accountability for irresponsible behaviour
* taking / expecting collective responsibility for ensuring that all members act within certain boundaries (such as system rules)
* taking / assigning collective blame for the actions of one headmate onto other headmates or the collective
==History==
Shared responsibility for the collective's life is mentioned as early as 1997 in the ISSD's treatment guidelines for DID. Barlow mentions the concept being present in other academic sources of the time.
Several sources mention discourse around the topic, including the refection of the concept of collective accountability.https://kinhost.org/Main/SharedResponsibility (archive) Others note that while collective responsibility does not necessarily arise due to system members being "part of one person", as some early academic sources argue, the concept has merit due to other reasons.https://www.tumblr.com/fireboltsystem/742769761103036416/on-system-responsibilityaccountability-i-think 
Multiple discussions state a distinction of shared responsibility from shared blame, with taking responsibility for another member's actions being compared to the responsibility a parent may take for the actions of their child. Another distinction is made between taking individual responsibility as a headmate for other headmates' behaviour, and taking collective responsibility as a system.https://www.reddit.com/r/plural/comments/1b82ju6/system_accountability_lets_talk_about_it/ 
Due to the varied possible interpretations, different kinds of system accountability (possibly referred to by the same words) are adopted or rejected by sections of the community or individual systems or headmates. 
==Related Terms==
For the philosophical concept of collective responsibility in groups, see the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.
System accountability may be overseen and carried out by a diplomat or dutere, and may be enforced through an internal hierarchy, such as a praetor.

System Collapse

A system collapse is when a system loses a large number or even all of its headmates in a short span of time. 
This may be due to trauma or other stressors, although some systems may experience periodic collapses naturally, as part of how their system functions. 
After system collapse a system may be reduced to a singlet or a small number of headmates; thereafter it is possible to grow as a system again with new headmates or recovering old ones.
== Related Terms ==
Some systems go through regular cycles of collapses and rebuilding, like cyclogenic ones.
Bloom, a period of gaining a lot of members, may be considered an antonym.

System Crash

A system crash is a period of blurriness caused by too many fronters. It's often caused when the brain gets overwhelmed with the front, especially when the front is crowded, blurry, and/or blendy. It also often involves head pressure or awareness of the overwhelming situation. After a while, often a few hours, the brain gets too overwhelmed and throws most, if not all, fronters out and makes the system blurry. It often takes more energy, and the system may need to rest before the front can be clear again. This term is open to all systems or plurals, and not origin specific, though it was coined by a traumaendo system.
==History==
This is a term used and created (to the knowledge of the coining system) by The Cipher System to describe a very specific function within their system. Often just called "a crash" by them.
==Related Terms==
A host crash is a system crash during which only fronting hosts are expelled from front.
Systemfluid

Systemfluid is a gender that changes depending on who’s fronting in a system.

Systemflux

Systemflux refers to people whose identification as a system or a singlet fluctuates in intensity over time. This can be gradually, rapidly, or any speed in-between depending on the system. Usually it is consistent but sometimes it is not. A systemflux system can be of any system origin.
An example of this would be: one day feeling as though various headmates were fronting throughout the day, and then having a day where it feels as though you weren't a system at all. Oftentimes this is linked to headmates only being triggered to the front exclusively through stress, and acknowledgement of the difference between the varying states of plurality and lack thereof.
This state has been described as feeling like one has temporarily completely fused or integrated with all of their headmates, with complete memory overlap and a distinct sense of self that encompasses all senses of selves that the pre-existing system had. 
This is distinct from having a host in that the state of temporary fusion is not necessarily a headmate, and cannot necessarily be assigned as having the most fronting time. This is distinct from the core because it is not necessary that the fused-self is equivalent to the pre-plural self. This is also not necessarily a singletsona, as rather than being a collective effort by a system to appear as though they are a singlet, systemflux systems can authentically become singlets temporarily. Systemflux people may or may not be able to access their headspace while existing as a singlet.
=== Related Terms ===
Systemflux people may or may not experience forms of system collapse intermittently. Similarly, they may produce cyclotian headmates.
Systemflux people may experience systemfluctuation because of periodic system lockdown.
Systemflux people may undergo absorption or assimilation in order to attain temporary singlethood.
Systemflux people may regain new headmates through walk-ins, splits, thoughtforms or any other method of headmate generation.
Systemflux people may have mixedflux experiences.

System Freeze

A system freeze is a period of time in which a system goes into partial dormancy in some way. This may feel like or even be considered a type of system collapse that can last for any amount of time. Eventually, the system will "thaw" back into prior activity levels.
==Related Terms==
Circutien systems may experience recurring system freezes. 
System lockdown and system collapse describe other kinds of events that lead to decreased internal activity or communication.
==References==
Systemgender

Systemgender is a gender which is defined as a sum of all the genders within a multiple or median system. It is a nonbinary gender experienced by members of a system. Other systems can also come up with names. (i.e. headmates all have different nonbinary genders but are looking for something to describe the gender of the system as a whole.)

System Guard

A system guard is a headmate who fronts to protect a system from being revealed to those outside of the system. System guards may do this in order to protect the system from those they perceive to be unsafe, to keep the system covert, or to keep other headmates from revealing themselves.
Regardless of whether the system is truly in danger, this headmate will take whatever action they feel is necessary, including but not limited to:
* causing heightened dissociation
* completely taking over front
* doing things other system members may deem harmful (e.g. lashing out at those outside the system in order to end the situation that brought them out)
System guards could be considered a form of protector or gatekeeper; they are differentiated primarily by their ultimate goal being protection of the system’s covertness.

Systemivexo

Systemivexo is a subtype of altervexo for identifying as plural or as a system out of spite. This could be spite to ableists like sysmedicalists, it could be a fuck-you to a society that hates your and your friends, or just that you're spiteful in a plural way, etc.

System Keeper

Not to be confused with syskeeper.
A system keeper is a headmate within that takes care of various system-related things. This overlaps existing, more specific roles like Architect, Archivist, Beastmaster, Census Taker, and/or Gatekeeper among other similar roles, but does not necessarily denote that headmate performs all aforementioned or unmentioned roles. A headmate can take on only a couple or be all of them if they so choose or if that is their function within the system. This is a term to allow for having multiple of these roles bunched together to look less scary on a list of one's system roles.

System Lockdown

A system lockdown is a period during which access to parts of the headspace are blocked off or "shut down". This is done to prevent internal events from affecting the front, preserve or separate members, or maintain order. 
Any fronters may be frontstuck while the lockdown is in place, and may have little to no communication with their non-fronting headmates.

System Mapping

System mapping is the process a headmate or collective goes through to study, learn about, and understand their own system. This may include finding out about members, innerworld structure, parameters of functions, and similar. It could also include personal history in addition to the current state, such as formation history, past and current hierarchies, relationships, etc. 
==Related Terms==
System mapping may be a part of syscovery or therapy. It may include but is distinct form the work of a mapper or archivist.

* Vibe Votes: Going through the system and getting an idea of what the system thinks without doing anything too formal. So getting yes or no answers without actually tracking it.
* Tally Marks Voting: Going through the system, using tally marks to keep track of each vote.
Some plural-focused apps like Simply Plural offer poll options. 
==Related Terms==
System polls may be conducted or overseen by a pollkeeper, census taker, or similar headmate, and may be tracked internally or externally.
