Mask

Masking refers to the conscious or unconscious suppression or hiding of elements of a person's identity, personality, or natural behavior. This is often referred to as a social survival strategy – used to conform to expected 'norms', cope with situations or environments, or avoid expressing anxiety.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masking_(personality) Self-suppression can cause lasting harm to an individual's happiness, security, and sense of self.https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/professional-practice/autistic-maskinghttps://www.highspeedtraining.co.uk/hub/what-is-autistic-masking/
Masking may occur in a number of context, such as hiding attributes that are not fully accepted in society, disguising emotions or impairments, and may apply to masking symptoms as well. In the context of plurality, masking may be taken care of by specific headmates, such as a masker or posier, and may hide both general symptoms as well as the existence of the system itself. 
For example, a system may have a symptom manager that helps to conceal symptoms, a posier who simply acts in a more professional manner that they would not display in private, or a system guard who keeps the system covert. 
As such, one may refer to masking in relation to a specific topic or attribute, such as autistic masking, symptom masking, or system masking. 
Masking may also occur as a less deliberate system function, such as shorter, less dissociated switches or less internal communication while interacting with outsiders. This could be to preserve privacy, or out of a subconscious desire to present a "unified front". 
In addition, the mask or "persona" a person puts on in different contexts (such as a "work mask / work persona") does not necessarily overlap with plurality, though the two are often conflated by people less familiar with the concept.

Maskbased

Maskbased refers to a system based on masking.

Maslow

A maslow (maz·low)https://youglish.com/pronounce/maslow/english? is a headmate whose role is to ensure the system fulfills Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to the best of their ability, so that everyone feels as healthy and happy as possible. A maslow may accomplish their role by fronting themself, or by encouraging their headmates to take care of tasks that contribute to the overall system’s well-being. A maslow promotes beneficial behaviors, and discourages ones that defeat their efforts to acheive and maintain a holistic life.
This term may also be used by headmates who do not focus on the hierarchy itself if the overall concept of furthering the system's welfare resonates with them.
This term may be used by anyone of any origin.
==Term Origin==
The term maslow originates from the concept of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
“Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid.
"From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological (food and clothing), safety (job security), love and belonging needs (friendship), esteem, and self-actualization.
"Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to higher needs.”https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html
However, a maslow may not take a hierarchical approach to needs, instead choosing to promote or enforce positive behaviors and skills where they deem necessary, regardless of positioning on the hierarchy.
==Related Terms==
A maslow may or may not serve as a primary fronter/outernaut for their system. A maslow may also participate in the roles of manager or caretaker, depending on their system’s specific needs. They may also serve as a socializer, assidumate, hygienist, housekeeper, etc, depending on the kind of fronting tasks they participate in.
A maslow may be considered an officium depending on their system’s level of reliance on them.
Because a system’s needs may be ever-changing, or be different based on who is fronting, a maslow may be considered an accodare or worker.
==History==
The term was coined by the Felight system in April 2023.

Masochist

Masochist is a role that describes a headmate who is masochistic in nature, specifically as part of their role. These tendencies may be on their own, or part of another role.
A protector may hold these tendencies so they can better protect the system by enjoying things that they protect the system from. It might also be part of a persecutor's role, as they may carry these tendencies so that harming is easier on them and harder on the rest of the system.
This is specifically a role, rather than just a preference.

*A system's collective identity being masculine, causing everyone who fronts to feel masculine, whether they identify that way or not.

Medical System

A medical, psychological, or brainbased system is one that views their plurality in a medical or psychological manner, or who view their function in a psychological light. They may or may not be spiritual and may or may not use medical terminology.

The antonym, non-medical, may refer to a system that views their plurality in a natural or spiritual light, is not disordered, is endogenic in origin, or has experiences that are not purely scientifically or psychologically explained. 
Medical and non-medical are not mutually exclusive, since either term may refer to a number of factors, and systems may view their plurality as a mix or in between extremes of these terms. For example, a system may be medical or psychological in that they view their plurality in a purely psychological light and do not experience spiritual aspects, and simultaneously non-medical in that they are non-disordered and consider their plurality to be heathly.
