Pseudomemory

Pseudomemory is a fake memory, such as a spurious recollection of events that never took place, as opposed to a memory that is merely inaccurate.https://dictionary.apa.org/pseudomemory
== Related Terms ==
Different from exomemory, in that instead of being a memory that happened from outside of the body, these are memories that did not happen at all.

Pseudonaut

A pseudonaut is a headmate whose role is to cope with and / or hold their system's pseudomemories. They may or may not be able to access the memories, and they may or may not know whose memories they are coping with. 
These headmates can choose to take on the role of coping with these memories, as some memories may be upsetting to headmates or to the system, while other headmates can form with the role already, which may be due to their source, if they have one. 
== Related Terms ==
Memory holders and trauma holders are both types of members who hold and cope with memories.

Pseudo-Singletspike

Pseudo-Singletspike is when a system who is generally active [e.g., having fronters more often then not, regular interactions with headspace if they have one] but now and then, in sudden spikes will what feels like disappear. This is unintentional and usually random without particular cause but might be influenced by or caused by ones mental state, environment or anything else of the like.
Front will be unaccounted for and unable to be handled deliberately. Headspace will also become inaccessible as well, making one feel alone internally verses the usual bustle. It creates a singlet like experience without anything actually happening to the system in question. Imitating the feeling of being a singlet without ever actually becoming a singlet at all. The system never integrated or fused, the system never ceased to exist nor had a system collapse. Therefore memories, consciousness or distinctness remains as it was before the spike. It's only faded away to the back of ones mind or access to the system has been temporarily blocked, either way being unable to access their system at all for a relatively short amount of time.
Systems like this can be considered to be having a system lockdown of sorts, but it's continuously happening sporadically, specifically short intervals of time and without anyone being able to front while it is happening. Communication from the headspace and headmates remaining entirely severed until the spike passes each time.
Systems that go by this label may be more likely to be closer to the median or mediple spectrum rather than partitionary, but not inherently.
== Related Terms ==
Systemflux is similar to this term but involves genuinely identifying as a singlet/becoming a singlet and is not particularly or specifically a short-lived experience as well as individuals having experienced effect on their memories, distinction or it even involved fusion or loss of the system entirely, etc.

The term and flag was created by The Platforms and posted to Tumblr on February 1st, 2025.

Psybling

Psybling (sy·bling) is an alternative/synonym to the term headmate. It describes any member of a system, regardless of origin.
==Term Origin==
Psybling was derived from the words "psyche" ("the mind, or the deepest thoughts, feelings, or beliefs of a person or group"https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/psyche) and "sibling" ("one of two or more individuals having one common parent"https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sibling). However, two psyblings do not have to consider themselves siblings/family, nor do they have to share origins.
==History==
Psybling was coined by the Felight system in February 2024.

Psyche

Plurality-wise, the psyche refers to the inherent consciousness / soul of the body. The psyche presents as a separate member in the collective, as opposed to a "shell" or a "mode". It could be compared to a sentient systemsona or singletsona. A psyche can hold the spirit / soul of the body, and anything that comes with that. (Past lives, kintypes, memories, etc.)https://www.tumblr.com/phoenigenic/727063317609381888/psyche?source=share The definition is prone to change/updating.

Psychogenic Seizure

A psychogenic seizure is an episode that looks seemingly like an epileptic seizure, but isn't caused by electrical discharges and is therefore non-epileptic.
Psychogenic seizures are part of Functional Neurological Disorder and are often considered a dissociative conditionInternational Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (11th ed,; ICD-11; World Health Organization, 2021)..
They are associated with having a trauma (especially childhood) historyYang T, Roberts C, Winton-Brown T, Lloyd M, Kwan P, O'Brien TJ, Velakoulis D, Rayner G, Malpas CB.

Anything could be a trigger for a psychogenic seizure, including flashing lights (deeming the person photosensitive), traumatic triggers, stress, etc.
One might experience psychogenic seizures for any reason, such as as a post-traumatic stress response, as a response to heightened emotions, as an automatic way of stopping distressing memories from appearing, or as away to regulate or express pent-up feelings.
People with psychogenic seizures might be able to exercise certain amount of control over their seizures, such as 'pushing them down' and 'releasing' them at a later point. Unsafe or dangerous situations (being in public for example) might make seizures less likely to happen, or vice versa.

Psychosomatic

Psychosomatic, psychogenic, or functional effects are physical effects and experiences that are caused by or originate from a mental processes. This includes perception and symptoms not tied to an organic cause, and also physical effects like hormonal changes or digestive behaviour that are physical in nature but have a mental origin. Psychogenic issues like stomach ulcers caused by stress may still present as or result in physical organic illnesses. Functional illnesses may also present with the same symptoms as their organic counterpart while lacking the associated physical mechanism.
Psychosomatic medical issues are distinct from faking, imagining, or over-interpreting symptoms. They may or may not respond to physiological treatment methods and should be treated by a professional, most often by or in cooperation with a psychiatrist or psychosomatic specialist. (Citation needed to treatment guidelines){MCN}}
In relation to plurality, several psychosomatic issues are linked to dissociation and / or trauma, and may be experienced by one or more headmates. Additionally, differences in the body caused by differing fronters may be referred to as psychosomatic. 
==Related Terms==
Examples of dissociative psychogenic illness include psychogenic seizures, psychogenic amnesia, and psychogenic fugue. 
A psychosomatic shift is the difference in physical bodily experience across different fronters.

Psychosomatic Shift

A psychosomatic shift refers to when a physical trait is acquired by the body when certain headmates front. This may include allergies, strength of senses, and more.https://www.reddit.com/r/plural/wiki/glossary/
Psychosomatic shift may increase or decrease any physical trait or experiences. 
==Mechanism==
While a system shares a collective body that has certain physical and physiological traits, many physical functions of the body are regulated by certain brain activity. This includes metabolism, regulation of sensory input, response to stimuli or substances, hormone levels, and more. A headmate's presence may influence such regulatory functions to result in a change in physiological presentation. 
For example, a system's eyes may be shaped in a way that is associated with near-sightedness, but different headmates may influence the brain while fronting so that it compensates for that near-sightedness to different degrees, resulting in headmates requiring different prescriptions for glasses. 
Such regulatory changes may also occur in singlets, as can be observed with different levels of eyesight depending on time of day, stress, exhaustion, etc. For singlets and systems both, these variations are limited to the span the brain can feasible regulate in any direction, and for systems certain levels of regulation may be consistent for specific headmates, leading to different expressions of symptoms.
==Related Terms==
Psychosomatic shift may be experienced by, for example, parabled headmates, those with exolimbs, symptom holders, or cassmates.

PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD) under the section titled Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders (DSM) and Disorders specifically associated with stress (ICD). It forms from exposure to an event which the brain perceives as threatening and traumatic. PTSD is characterized by recurring, involuntary, and intrusive thoughts, dreams, dissociative reactions (such as flashbacks), psychological distress, and marked physiological reactions when reminded of the traumatic event.
Other characteristics include avoidance, negative symptoms (lack of memory of the event; persistent and exaggerated negative beliefs about oneself, others, or the world; persistent negative emotional state, such as fear, anger, guilt, or shame; etc.), hypervigilance, and exaggerated startle response.
When considering if an individual has PTSD, psychologists have several differential diagnoses which they must rule out, among these being dissociative amnesia, dissociative identity disorder, depersonalization-derealization disorder, and personality disorders.
== C-PTSD ==
Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) refers to repetitive exposure to traumatic events, whereas PTSD is then used to refer to a single experience of exposure to the traumatic event. It is associated with additional symptoms, which (frequently) include dissociation. 
== History ==
PTSD was first added to the third edition of the DSM in 1980. Twelve years later (1992), it was also added to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), where it is classified under disorders specifically associated with stress.https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en#/http%3a%2f%2fid.who.int%2ficd%2fentity%2f2070699808
