Mode

A mode is a specific state of functioning of a system member. For example, a member may have a mode in which they do not feel external emotions and only recite information. This is neither a version of the member, nor a facet, but a temporal state that has very little individuality separate from its center (the member in question). 
Modes can be very one-dimensional and serve a specific purpose, or only come in due to highly specific things, though this is not necessarily the case. Modes may generally be considered a level underneath facets, going headmate -> facet -> mode.
==History==
From extranth's coining posthttps://archive.today/4AyPh:
"The term “mode” has been used loosely in the plural community before according to some people I’ve spoken with, but it has never been officially coined as far as I can tell."
==Related Terms==
Modes may be similar to subfacets. 
In schema therapy, the personality of a person is represented through a number of modes as well, with a very similar definition.

Moderator

Moderator is a headmate that focuses on intra-system relationship of any kind. They can either mediate them (making them better), or sabotage them (making them worse).
==Related Terms==
Moderator functions as a combination of peacemaker and instigator.
Intermediary is the out-of-system equivalent.
Can be seen as a synonym to intrarelatian.
A rationaliser helps their system rationalise (i.e, by arguing, relativising, promoting critical thinking, avoiding overthinking or irrational decisions); this traumagenic-exclusive role may help the moderator role.

Modern

Modern is a modifier to describe headmates, groups, layers, and similar, in dissociative systems which handle current daily life. Meanwhile, "younger-age" trauma experiences are kept sectioned off on other layers and/or handled by other members. This sectioning off generally comes with strong amnesic barriers for younger-age trauma, and modern layer parts may be completely unaware of the existence of other layers at all. 
== Modern Layers ==
Creation of modern layers happens in order to hide younger-age trauma from the current active fronters, and there may or may not be multiple "old modern layers" that have fallen out of use present in the system as new modern layers were needed over the course of childhood to hide overwhelming trauma from new fronters, which may appear as system resets. Alternatively, there may be only one modern layer present in the system with younger-age trauma being continuously sectioned off into trauma-holding layers so that the trauma is constantly kept separate from the modern parts.
== Modern Parts ==
Any member of a modern layer may be considered a modern part. 
These are often parts who were split during the past several years who hold little or no memory or understanding of the body's life prior to that part's splitting. Modern parts tend to be in denial of, amnesic for, or downplay the body's past or trauma prior to their split dates, though modern EPs may exist who hold "modern trauma" (ie., trauma which happened after the formation of the modern layer and was not sectioned off for whatever reason).
Modern EPs may exist on modern layers to obscure non-modern trauma by holding "cover up trauma". The system may believe that the entirety of their trauma is held by the EPs on the modern layer, which further hides non-modern EPs/trauma holders from the modern layer's awareness.
== History ==
"Modern" terminology was coined by post manic apology tour on Discord to describe both layer functions and system member functions. The terms can be changed around to suit the system using it (ex., "modern headmate" instead of "modern part").
==Related Terms==
Each layer may hold members of an epoch / era or district, and each layer may be its own sisasystem.
With new modern parts or layers, a system may go through front rotation and be considered cytien, or go through a system shift with the newly modern layer becoming the primary system.

Modular

Category:Psychiatric Terms
Modular systems (or layers, sidesystems, subsystems, etc.) have fragments (described "autonomous ego functions"http://www.traumatys.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Dissociation-DID-Kluft-1991.pdf) that "merge", "stack", or "combine" together situation-by-situation to create temporary system members that afterwards "break apart". Those system members often come off as vague and may not been seen in the same way again, or only in the same specific circumstance. 
A common analogy is Lego bricks: each fragment can be represented by a separate brick, which assemble to create someone on the fly. The system member is then easily disassembled and the bricks exist separately once more.https://kinhost.org/Main/Polyfragmented
Typically, modular systems do this process unconsciously, but some have some sort of assembler that guides this process.
==History==
Modular Dissociative Identity Disorder was first described by Richard Kluft in a paper titled Clinical Presentations of Multiple Personality Disorder. In his experience, this form is associated with severe trauma, creativity, and knowledge of computers. It is listed separately from polyfragmented DID and other presentations, some of which have more modern relevance than others. (A more accessible and simplified list of Kluft's noted presentations is available here.)
==Related Terms==
Modular systems can be compared to polyfragmented ones, as they both possess large amounts of fragments and additional complexity compared to "standard" presentations.

Modular Spectrum

The modular spectrum (or mod-spec) is a spectrum that encompasses all experiences that fall anywhere between non-modular and modular plurality.
The left end of the spectrum is experiences that completely lack the situation/purpose-based merging and breaking apart of headmates/fragments.
The right end of the spectrum is experiences that are entirely and fully modular in nature, with the complete lack of non-modular headmates/sisasystems.
Systems leaning towards fully modular may find any of these differences from non-modular-leaning systems:
* Complete modularity in every aspect, cluster, grouping, and presentation of the system
* Zero consistent nor elaborated headmates
* No headspace, nor internal forms
* Uncountable fragment/particle size and constant splitting
* Being fully fractal
* Constant and frequent switches and skewing
* Seemingly surprising lack of PDs (due to no consistent personality/identity)
* Strange, complex, and fluid switch-based amnesia
* Constant introjection of traits(in the form of particles) rather than of introjects
* Fully modular presentations of OSDD-1a
Systems that are in the middle or in-between without a clear lean might have these experiences:
* The modularity being contained within one or multiple layers, sisasystems, or chiron subsystems, while the rest of the system being non-modular
* Having a consistent set of non-modular host/s while other parts of the system in the back are modular (may be a P-DID system)
* Being modular only under stress or in infrequent circumstances
* One headmate being a median subsystem that's modular in nature
Systems that lean towards being non-modular might present as any of the following:
* Having a few unitian, hive, or culminorma headmates that identify with parts of the modular experience
* Temporary stress-merges between elaborated headmates (possibly oobleck)
* Otherwise non-modular headmates that split into fragments and fuse back to their original periodically/sometimes
=== Terms that might be mod-spec: ===
Flares are types of temporary members only seen in modular systems. Some mod-spec systems prefer unitian or culminorma. Being hivegenic may present as a form of modularity for some.
Many forms of fractal plurality might be modular in nature.
Some systems, particularly in the middle of the spectrum, might have an artisan headmate.
There's various documented programs that center around modularity.
Being a transferian system with frequent situation-based host transfers is likely to be mod-spec.
Modular systems might find the existence one or multiple prisms, shells, or blanket selves to 'mask out' or 'smooth out' the modularity.
Certain cyclogenic systems might be modular through their cyclic nature.

Monitor

Monitors are a part of a scapian that manifests itself. A monitor can almost always see and feel what goes on within the headspace unless otherwise specified. Monitors can represent the pure form of a scapian, the member when there are no other fronters, or just an internal body for the member to use within itself.

Monoconscious

Monoconscious refers to a system with only one consciousnesshttps://termora.org/term/707. Members do not have an individual consciousness, but instead share the collective consciousness. Monoconscious systems may experience changes in fronting as a smooth transition rather than a sudden switch.
The flags were a collaborative project within the Mogai Multiverse Discord server. All names are included within the flags' post.https://archive.today/uDkaQ

Mónosmalet

Mónosmalet are beings inside of the body who aren't technically a part of the system or see themselves as separate from the system, but still share the same body as the system.
They usually don't front often, or when they do, they can normally block off memories from the rest of the system.
They also may be unaffected by system members and gatekeepers, such as not being able to be forced into or out of the front, or having no passive influence.
Mónos- comes from the Greek word meaning "alone", -malet comes from the words headmate and singlet, showing that they aren't really a part of the system, but are still not a singlet.
== Related Terms ==
Floaters are similar in that they can not be a part of one system, sort of floating between them. Walk-Ins may be a form of mónosmalet.
This may be considered a synonym or overlap with demi-member, exomember, or incorporeal.

Mortemate

A mortemate is a headmate who is deceased, and may appear as a ghost, zombie, or spirit internally. This is not necessarily a metaphysical or religious phenomenon, but can be for some. It was meant to soften the name of and expanding on the concept of a "dead alter" in existing literaturehttp://traumadissociation.com/alters.html#dead.
Some reasons a mortemate may present as such include:
* Being a trauma or memory holder relating to near-death experiences, times they felt the body should have died, suicidality, or other death-related traumas;
* An introject who is deceased in their source, or an introject of the concept of death itself;
* A headmate that has aged to the point of passing or otherwise died in the inner world;
* Performing death-related roles in the inner or outer world.

== History ==
Morty E and Morty – of The Destroy Boys were struggling to define their gender. They could only describe it as being themselves. In reference to the Rick and Morty episode "Bethic Twinstinct," they coined the term Mortic. Richard of the same system decided to follow suit, coining the terms Rickic, Jerric, Summeric, and Bethic.

Mostive

A mostive is a system member who is an introject of a character that another member of the system created, especially for a roleplaying game or similar.
The defining trait is that the character was created from scratch or close to it, rather than altered from an already existing character.https://astrophellian.tumblr.com/post/677924697240895488/mostive 
The term's name is derived from the Latin 'mos', meaning 'customize'.
== Related Terms ==
* Mostives may be considered a type of OCtives, introjects of original characters, created by either the system or outsiders, and therefore both fictives and autojects. 
* If the mostive is sourced from an OC for Dungeons & Dragons or a similar roleplaying game, they may be considered a dungeonborn.
* If the traits of the mostive influence the further development of the character, this headmate may be considered an ouroboros.
