In-System Government

An in-system government is a structure within a system that holds executive power, enforces a hierarchy, and/or handles organisation and administrative duties. It may consist of headmates or groups of headmates, sentient system functions, function layers, and any internal structures or functions that support and uphold the hierarchy. 
An internal hierarchy may be formalised and organised with specific duties and positions, or it may describe an informal power dynamic, with headmates such a hosts or primary protectors having more say in some decisions. 
A government may be given by a system's structure, be chosen or even elected, and may even be totalitarian in nature. It may be controlling and tied to power and abilities, or relate to duties and responsibilities. Government members may hold their position inherently, be forced into it, or choose to take it up. 
The term "government" may only describe the top executive tier of a system's overall hierarchy, or it may refer to any part of an internal hierarchy, possibly including all headmates if there is an encompassing ranking. 
Headmates of differing ranks in an internal ranking may consider each other higher-ups, superiors, subordinates, or similar. 
==Related Terms==
In-system governments may be found in systems with archaic or leader-compartmentalised structures, and may be absent in leveled systems. There may be different factions active, including accusers and mutineers that rally against those in charge. 
Gatekeepers may be part of an internal hierarchy by nature of their abilities, managers may carry their role as a descriptor due to participating in an internal government.

Intaglio

An intaglio is an introject who does or feels that they match their source closely. 
==Related Terms==
This may be considered an antonym to nonsimilous.
Converging fictive is the fictive-specific version. 
If an introject remains an intaglio even through changes in their source, they may be called sourcebound.
==History==
Intaglio refers to the process of scratching a positive of the desired images and/or text into a metal plate and applying ink to the plate for use in printing. This allowed for more detailed prints using methods like cross hatching to show texture and shadow. A famous example of an intaglio print is The Temptation of Saint Anthony, by Martin Schongauer, circa 1470-75.

Integration

Category:Common Terms
Category:Not Plural Exclusive
Integration, in the context of psychiatry, is the unification and acceptance of information, memories, and beliefs into a whole.https://dictionary.apa.org/integration Trauma can interrupt this process, and healing from it often includes methods to re-integrate, gaining more control over symptoms and better insight into the self. For singlets, this often looks like acknowledging the trauma and how it fits into their personal narrative or timeline; understanding its effects on their sense of self; being able to access memories of trauma without being triggered by them; and managing the emotions that come up when remembering or working through the trauma.https://did-research.org/treatment/integration
For systems, it can also include lowering barriers between headmates (amnesiac or otherwise); increasing communication and cooperation; making switching easier, and more within the control of the system; creating more ownership over the body; minimizing dissociation as a whole; and establishing grounding techniques and other coping mechanisms. Most therapy specifically aimed at disordered systems (like ones with DID or OSDD-1) focuses on integration.
==Related Terms==
Fusion is a type of integration that results in the complete lowering of barriers between two or more system members. Not all integration results in fusion, and treatment can end with the system completely stable & healed from most trauma, but still plural; this is called resolution or functional multiplicity. Sometimes, integration continues to the point where there are no more barriers between any system members at all; this is known as final fusion, and results in a completely unified self.
Fusion and integration have been used interchangeably in the past, as fusion was seen as the only valid path to prevent disordered effects; however, they are no longer used this way and have not been for decades in medical literature. 
Dissociation, especially when it results in compartmentalization, can be seen as the inverse of integration; the separation of feelings, urges, memories, experiences, or the like from the self. "Fragmentation" has also been used in studies as the opposite of integration.Barlow, M. R., & Chu, J. A. (2014). Measuring fragmentation in dissociative identity disorder: the integration measure and relationship to switching and time in therapy. European Journal of Psychotraumatology, 5(1), 22250.
Intentional Harmer

An intentional harmer is a headmate that harms other headmates. 
They may believe bringing harm is a good way of showing other headmates that the world is not good, safe, and/or happy. It may also be a way that these headmates attempt to get control in their system, or an attempt to disrupt the peace.
This might include, but is not limited to, sexual, physical, or mental harm.
==Related Terms==
This may be considered a subtype of persecutor.

Intentive

An intentive is an introject who has in some way intentionally chosen their source. This can be a source from media they have picked and latched onto, or one that they created on their own through writing, daydreaming, or various means. The system does not need to have been aware of them doing this, or even aware of being plural at the time it was happening. 
The intentive may have acted as this source as well- akin to an actor in a movie-, but with the source still being closely tied to their identity in some way.

Interactive System

An interactive system is one that interacts with certain media which can induce walk-ins and other such headmates to be formed.
Some may call these headmates splits, but the only difference is the ‘consent’; for example, when watching a distressing media, the characters can interact with the other members of the system, comforting them, and asking how they are- if deemed fit enough, the system members would ask if they’d like to join the system- either that or the characters would ask if they needed comforting and can they please join the system for a couple hours until the system members felt safe enough for them to go back.
Intercosm

An intercosm is a place in a system that is between a layer/other system area and paracosm. This may be an area with both attributes of a paracosm and the headspace, an area where paratives reside, or any other variety of experiences. Intercosms are not the whole headspace, and may only be accessible through daydreaming, may have a storyline, and may “run” or continue the story even if no one is daydreaming. Intercosm may be similar to/fall under soulcosms. 
==Related Terms==
Systems who have an intercosm are often paratien, or have their paracosm overlap, be fused with, or otherwise accessible through the headspace. They may also have dreamways, or a form of gateway where the other worlds are paracosm(s).
A system whose functions, headmate roles, and/or headspace are heavily influenced by daydreaming could be MaDDbased.
==History==
This term was coined to be exclusive to daydreaming systems.

Interden

Interden, also referred to as Internati is a natiden identity that can only be fully understood with context from cultures / societies in someones Innerworld/Headspace.
While the term is intended for systems, if someone experiences a headspace in some form, they can use it.
== History ==

Interflux

Interflux refers to a member that frequently fluctuates in and out of dormancy.https://septembersanctuary.tumblr.com/post/652913664735756288/interflux
The act of going in and out of dormancy like this may be called flickering.
==History==
This term is derived from the Latin prefix Inter- — between, among, during — and flux — flowing in and out of.
Inerflux may be an alternative version referring to inertia, it may also simply be a typo. 
==Related Terms==
A dormaler is able to travel in and out of dormancy at will, which may be an intentional form of being interflux or deliberate flickering.

Interiplural

An interiplural is a headmate who is a part of a larger system and who identifies as plural themself, but not as a subsystem for any reason. 
== Variants ==
Inplural has been simply described as a term for those who have a plural system within a system. The term was coined in 2023 presumably on Tumblr by irlcesartorres.
Inmedian is similar to inplural, it is a term for those who have a median system within a system. The term was coined on September 27th 2024 and posted to Discord by a pluralpedia user.
== Related Terms ==
Intraplural refers to a member of a subsystem who may or may not be the host / core / main of the collective.
A plural non-system is a collection of people who do not identify as a system, for multiple reasons. 
A plurallet is a singlet that is plural in some way, either because they are fragmented, their plurality fluctuates, or they feel like they are in between/both plural and singlet. 
An intrasinglet is a member who does not have their own system within a larger system. Interiplural members may or may not consider themselves intrasinglets.

Interlaced

Interlaced is a descriptor for a set of partitionary headmates that are connected in such a way that changes to one affect the other.
For example, if one headmate introjected into themself and experienced a change in species, any headmates they were interlaced with would also experience a species change.
This could be for any reason; being in-system twins or clones, having formed from the same split, and being part of the same subsystem are some examples of things that could cause the connection.https://pinklemonades.carrd.co/#terms

Intermediary

An intermediary is a headmate that focuses on external relationships involving their system. The relationships can be of any kind, such as romantic/platonic, the sysmates involved can be of any number, and it can be with a singlet partner or a partner system. The only defining trait is that the relationship is out-of-system, occurring in shared reality.
Intermediaries can either mediate the relationships, making them better, or sabotage them, making them worse.
== History ==
This term was coined by "G" of A Shattered Dragon's Spirit to describe a bondalter of his on the 20th of June, 2023.
It was directly inspired by the term moderator, which is a mediator for intra-system relationships.
==Related Terms==
Intermediary functions as a combination of peacemaker and instigator.
As intermediaries can either mediate or sabotage, they may be seen as either a caretaker or a persecutor, or a janusian if their actions change from person to person.
Can be seen as a synonym to exorelatian.
A rationaliser is a headmate who helps their system rationalise (i.e, argue, relativise, promote critical thinking, avoid overthinking or irrational decisions); this traumagenic-exclusive role may help the intermediary role.

Intermediate Communication

Intermediate communication refers to internal communication between sentient headspaces and headmates, when one is translating foreign languages or interpreting non-verbal/semi-verbal speech to another.
==Examples==
* if two headmates speak a different language and do not understand each other, a sentient headspace who understands both of them may act a translator between the two headmates.
* if a sentient headspace only understands a specific language, a headmate might act as a translator between the entity and other headmates.
* etc.
==Related Terms==
The headmate counterparts of this type of communication are translators and interpreters.
Thoughtsharing refers to direct, intentional but unspoken, internal communication between headmates.
Thoughtbleeding refers to direct, unintentional and unspoken, internal communication between headmates.
==History==
This term was coined on November 25th, 2023, by Pluralpedia user Oceanic-Lanterns, and was designed to be specific to sentient headspaces interacting with living things.

Internal Age

Internal Age is the age of a headmate inside their system. This may or may not be the same as the body's age. The internal age of headmates in the same system frequently vary wildly and can range from newborn to infinite. A headmate can also be ageless or have an internal age that's an age range or concept. 
Internal age often determines a headmate's appearance in headspace. In many cases, internal age can determine or represent the level of responsibility or stress a headmate can handle as well as behavior. 
==Related Terms==
Development-based and metaphor-based are ways that systems and/or headmates can experience internal age. 
Someone who identifies as a different internal age than the body may consider themself chronosian.

Internal Communication

Internal communication is when members of a system are able to communicate with each other without having to speak or write externally. 
This can happen in various ways, like through a shared headspace, or by mentally talking to each other. Not all systems have this, but it is fairly common.
Internal communication can be used for coordinating actions with the body, or simply for talking to each other and keeping each other up to date. It can also be used as a way to allow a headmate who isn't currently fronting to talk to the outside world, with the fronter(s) as a messenger.
Systems can gain or lose internal communication over time, such as through therapy, introspection, traumatic events, or any other cause. It's also possible that only some members have this ability, and others don't.
Internal communication isn't flawless, and many encounter difficulties regularly.
==Related Terms==
Thoughtsharing refers to unspoken internal communication between headmates; while Thoughtbleeding refers to unintentional and unspoken internal communication between headmates.
Thoughtlogue refers to a system/sisasystem that communicates through thoughtbleeding or thoughtsharing; and Spatial Thoughtlogue refers to a system/sisasystem in which sentient headspaces and headmates may communicate through thoughtbleeding/thoughtsharing.
Mediated communication (or Transmission) refers to internal communication that is accomplished through a technological intermediary or a specific tool (e.g, forming full sentences from isolated words from a radio, a page, a dictionary, etc.).
Intermediate communication refers to internal communication between sentient headspaces and headmates, when one is translating foreign languages (the headmate counterpart is translator) or interpreting non-verbal/semi-verbal speech to another (the headmate counterpart is interpreter).

Internal Handler

An internal handler is a headmate specific to programmed systems formed during TBMC and DBMC. 
The purpose of internal handlers is to continue the job of handlers in programming when the child is not in direct reach of the handler. They usually have a vast knowledge about the programming in specific areas of the system, reinforce the structure and organization of the system to the handler's wishes, keep other headmates in line with the handler's viewpoints and ideals, and activate or cue programs in a system. 
Internal handlers are usually higher up in leader-compartmentalized structures, but this is not a requirement. Oftentimes, they are given areas or aspects of the system to be the main leader of.
== Related Terms ==
An internal handler can be considered a subtype of instructed-persecutor.

Internal Protector

Internal protectors are a form of protector whose role is to protect specifically headmates internally, be it from other headmates, or for any other reason, such as being a DNI Holder. 
Internal protectors may also take on any other protector role in order to best perform their duties, or they may simply just be able to protect internally.
==Related Terms==
These headmates can also fall under being a janusian, as they are a form of Protector.
Internal Protectors might also be considered a type of gatekeeper if they are able to prevent headmates from fronting or can remove headmates from front if deemed necessary, but not all internal protectors have this ability, so the two don't necessarily go hand-in-hand.
Headmates who handle external threats may be external protectors.
While guardian is used as a general synonym to protector, it may also specifically be used as a synonym for internal protectors.https://systemtermalog.carrd.co/#sectiong

Internal Seizure

An internal seizure is a psychogenic seizure that's experienced internally rather than externally.
This might mean that for example:
* Instead of the body convulsing or loosing full consciousness, a headmate (such as a seizure holder) experiences them in the headspace.
* A headmate suddenly becoming unresponsive in a way that feels particularly similar to psychogenic seizures the system experiences bodily.
* The current fronter seeing themselves get the seizure in their minds eye rather than experiencing it physically. This can apply to singlets as well.
* A psychogenic seizure's aura being experienced with no external/overt symptoms.
Generally people who experience internal seizures also experience regular 'external' ones, internal seizures being just one way PNES might present sometimes.
An internal seizure might be a way for the brain to seize while being in an unsafe environment or as a way for non-fronting headmate to process or express an emotion or stress. It may or may not cause the fronter to feel dissociated or overwhelmed.
Certain gatekeepers might be able to trigger or 'cause' internal seizures.
