Separation

Separation is the degree to which to headmates are distinct or independent of each other. Members of median (sub)systems are often less separate than members of multiple (sub)systems. 
Less-separated members may become more separate through budding, splitting, or similar processes and may become less separate through (partial) merging. Medianflux or mixedflux systems may experience varying separation of members. 
==History==
The term "emancipation" to denote separation and autonomy from the influence of other members may have been introduced by Janet in 1907.
==Related Terms==
Separation is distinct form elaboration, which refers to the level of sentience or "detail" of members or headspaces. 
Separation does not necessarily imply but may overlap with stronger barrier between members. The strength memory, communication, or other barriers may be described on a spectrum from blurian to partitionary.

The yellow stripe symbolizes the feeling of a "past life", as well as all the memories and feelings of the components that the sequien now holds.
==Related Terms==
Sequiens may be more common in fusiotien systems, in which the majority of headmates are fusions.
An endurative is the result of a fusion that retains the identity of at least one of the fused members.

Sexual System

A sexual system is composed of predominantly sexual headmates, protectors, and the like (in the beginning of its composition) due to intensive, excessive, consistent, persistent, repetitive, or ongoing sexual abuse, trauma, memory or body flashbacks, headmate memory bleedover (flashbacks affecting a headmate's memories of the trauma), or headmate-body bleedover (the headmate out in the body experiencing body flashbacks of the trauma).
A sexual system may be created after sexual abuse to help cope with the trauma. At the beginning of the system's creation, there may be several sexual headmates/protectors (the like, etc...) to help cope with the trauma, but as time goes on if the trauma hasn’t healed/begun to heal (since the memories are still there, and as the flashbacks continue to happen, memory/body recall, bleedthrough, etc...) more of these headmates will be made to help cope and compartmentalise the trauma, there will be others that aren't solely derived/reliant (as the source of the headmate) from the trauma (entomates, and others, introjects, etc...) that aren't the result of the trauma, instead on other sources of different kinds of trauma/other sources (splits, introjects, .etc...)
Note: It’s important to note that although sexual systems may result in many sexual headmates (or headmates that have sexual characteristics or exhibit sexual behaviour subconsciously or consciously toward each other), the other headmates that are also there (or are created or have been there since before the creation of sexual headmate/protectors (…etc…) may also exhibit such traits even though they haven’t been derived from that same trauma. 
In a shorter note, they “rub off” on one another, but that doesn’t necessarily make them of the same trauma or derived from thereof— or even still, it doesn’t make the other headmate (whose been “rubbed off” on) a sexual headmate.

Sexual Trauma Holder

A Sexual Trauma Holder is a headmate who holds the sexual trauma of the system. They hold it because other headmates either can’t or don’t want to. Or they’re the ones who experienced it themselves.
This includes, but is not limited to, sexual assault, sexual harassment, etc. These headmates do tend to be uncomfortable around NSFW topics, but not always. They may sometimes be hypersexual as a result. Other times they may be asexual.
As with any other type of trauma holder, these headmates should be treated with care and respect.

Shaded Headmate

A shaded headmate is a headmate who lacks detail, depth, or nuance, because they rarely (or never) front. Shaded headmates are capable of fronting, and shaded headmates who begin to front more often will gain the detail, depth, and/or nuance that they did not have before.
Shaded headmates are fully autonomous and complete individuals, who simply do not have the chance to grow or develop when not fronting.
This term applies to systems whose members can only become fully conscious when fronting, and remain only partially conscious (or completely unconscious) when not fronting.
== Related Terms ==
* A shaded headmate may be considered a semi-member, demi-member, or fogment.
* Shaded headmates may be more common in systems who are partially or entirely monoconscious, but they can also occur in systems which are polyconscious (see Consciousness Structures).
* Shaded headmates may be more common for systems with no headspace, or a headspace which manifests only when focused on by the current fronter(s) (see Headspace Access).

Shardbound

A shardbound headmate is one that is connected to a cluster, shardcloud, or other group of fragments in some way without being part of that group. This may be due to the headmate carrying some of the shardcloud's fragments inside them, being the one best able to communicate with a cluster, or sharing an overarching theme.
Several headmates can be shardbound to the same cluster.

Shardcloud

A shardcloud is a cluster of fragments/shards that are connected by an overarching theme. They may hold memories from a certain type of experience or a time frame, or fulfill similar functions, or they may hold memories and functions all related to a shared concept.

Shardclouds may act together similar to a hive or apiconscious group, coalesce into a unitian or modular form, or may stay separate. A shardcloud may be considered inactive while separated. 
A shardcloud may appear in the process of forming new members or be a result of a previous member shattering.

Shatter

To shatter is for one headmate to break into many smaller fragments. When a headmate shatters, their self-states disperse such that none of the original self remains. This process is likened to the shattering of glass, and the finest pieces resulting would be sand fragments. Shattering may initially yield several developed self-states or fused clusters, any of which may develop into selves. Fragments may also fuse or build into more complete headmates.
== Related Terms ==
Shattering is a type of reductive formation that may be considered splitting or breaking. 
Fracturing and crackling may be similar or synonymous.

Shedtype

A shedtype is a trait of identity that someone used to have, and no longer identifies with or considers a part of who they are; however, a shedtype will still linger within this person or system somehow, leaving behind a residual sensation. This may feel like a loose object, a sense of unease or discomfort, or any other unusual feeling, which is why shedtypes will usually not stay as they are forever.
Shedtypes are frequently kintypes, gender identities, or sexual orientations, but they could be anything, including interests, names, favorites, opinions, etc. These traits can also cluster together (i.e. the names, pronouns, sexuality labels, and related interests someone had in the past that no longer fit their current experience of self) and become larger.
Shedding aspects of identity is a normal part of growing and changing as a person. However, especially in the context of those with identity or dissociative issues, this process might be maladaptive or interrupted in such a way that the traits linger around, and can develop into fragments, attach to existing headmates, etc.
== Related Terms ==
Shedtypes are a type of self-state that is defined by their history of being discarded and no longer regarded as a part of someone's identity.
Shedtypes can assist in fragment filling by combining together or being absorbed by fragments.
Artisans may use shedtypes to build new headmates, and extirpators may create shedtypes by breaking them off of existing headmates.
