Communication Barriers

Communication barriers are barriers in a system that block thoughts, emotions, conversation or any other method of in-system communication between headmates.
Communication barriers may be total, preventing the members from being aware of each other or they may be partial, and only affect certain aspects of communication. They may be system wide, or affect only specific members or types of communication, and they may be transient, meaning that they change over time.
Communication barriers can often be a large obstacle to system harmony, as not being able to communicate with one another can be very stressful. Although they are often associated with traumagenic DID systems, they may be experienced by any system.
==Related Terms==
Communication ability refers to how systems manage communication between headmates.
Amnesic barriers are another type of barrier that can hinder in-system communication.
Perceptual barriers are another type of barrier that can distort perceptions, thus making it hard to communicate.
Integration often involves lowering barriers between headmates, allowing for easier communication.

Compartmentalized Structure

Compartmentalized structured is a descriptor for a polyfragmented, polyplural, polyfaceted, or other poly- system whose function is completely compartmentalized. This may mean that their system is broken up into many “compartments” that function as a whole.
These compartments may work together to function properly, or they may clash. Compartments may also have a hard time communicating with each other, but may have perfect communication inside their own compartment.
Compartments maybe physically expressed in the inner world as layers, subsystems, or sidesystems.

Complex Dissociative Disorder

Complex Dissociative Disorder(s), often shortened to CDD or CDDs, refers to all Dissociative Disorders (DDs) known to induce multiple selves within one body. Medical multiplicity has existed within and parallel to the plural community, named for the then diagnosis of Multiple Personality Disorder.
One study defines CDDs as including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder Type-1 (OSDD-1).https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35695685/ Another study mentions Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified Example-1 (DDNOS-1).https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/brb3.2200 First Person Plural's legacy website also talks about the concept, in which it mentions DID, DDNOS, and OSDD.https://www.firstpersonplural.org.uk/dissociation/complex-dissociative-disorders/#Identityconfusion Other CDDs include Partial Dissociative Identity Disorder (P-DID)https://icd.who.int/browse/2024-01/mms/en#988400777, from the ICD rather than the DSM, and some cases of UDDhttps://psychcentral.com/disorders/dissociative-disorder-not-otherwise-specified-nos/other-specifiedunspecified-dissociative-disorder#1, diagnosed when the clinician is unable to differentiate beyond the DDs. 
This term is often used within plural spaces to explain or define disordered systems specifically, as well as by medical multiples (who may not consider themselves plural) and those who have achieved final fusion (which was required early in CDD treatment), who may still refer to themselves having a CDD or having past experiences with plurality or a CDD.
== Related Terms ==
Due to the nature of this term being psychiatric in nature it is more commonly associated with the experiences of systems who have what are more commonly in plural spaces referred to as DID or OSDD. Forms of disordered plurality.

Complex (Headmate)

The term complex indicates a system member whose role cannot be narrowed down to a particular type, but still seems to have one.
Complex may also describe a type of headmate who has the ability to manifest themselves in various, unconventional ways, such as encompassing the entire collective, its headspace, or even another headmate's emotional responses and sensory perception. These qualities could be considered metaphysical in nature.
=== Usage ===
As a noun, the word may be used like:
"My headmate is a complex."
"I am one of our system's complexes."
==Related Terms==
"Complex" is also used as a modifier for systems, sisasystems, headspaces, or layers to indicate an intricate inner structure, for example in polyfragmented systems.
== History ==
The Wool System coined the term in January of 2021.
Etymology of the term comes from the noun complex as used commonly in English to mean composite. It's also meant to be a play on words, as complex can also be used as an adjective to mean complicated.https://www.dictionary.com/browse/complex

Complex PTSD

Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) is a kind of PTSD caused by repeated traumas over a longer period of time. It usually also involves a change in perception and thinking. All C-PTSD is PTSD, but not all PTSD is C-PTSD, and symptoms specific to C-PTSD include:
* Dissociation and change in consciousness (including depersonalization and derealization)
* Emotional regulation issues; uncontrollable outbursts of anger, for example
* Negative self-perception accompanied by ongoing shame and guilt, sometimes to the point of not feeling like anyone else
* Unstable relationships with others, like avoiding others, distrusting everyone by default, etc.
* Harmful behaviors like drug abuse or self-harm
C-PTSD is more common in cases where the trauma occurs in childhood, involving a trusted adult or peer, happens over and over again, and escape was perceived as impossible. It does not directly correlate with the "severity" of trauma.
== History ==
Judith Herman first introduced the concept of Complex PTSD in her book Trauma and Recovery in 1992. She distinguished between "Type I Traumas" (short term, like sexual assault or a mugging) leading to PTSD, and "Type II Traumas" (long term, like childhood neglect) leading to C-PTSD. 
The distinction has not been recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, and thus, the last two editions of the DSM have not included C-PTSD as a separate diagnosis. 
However, other influential organizations, including the World Health Organization's ICD-11, the US Department of Veterans Affairs, Healthdirect Australia, and the NHS have all recognized C-PTSD as a separate but related disorder to PTSD.https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en#/http%3a%2f%2fid.who.int%2ficd%2fentity%2f585833559
== Related Terms ==
Complex PTSD is common amongst traumagenic systems, including DID and in OSDD-1 & -2. Specific symptoms listed above may be held by specific headmates, like a dissonaut holding dissociation symptoms, or a trauma breaker to help the system handle negative past experiences.

Complic

Complic / plurelic is a type of attraction felt by a member of a system, towards another member(s) of the same system. 
Complic and plurelic on their own do not designate whether or not this attraction is romantic, platonic, etc., nor do they designate the orientation of this attraction, but this can be done by taking the first four letters and then putting the attraction type after. Examples include compromantic, plurplatonic, and so on. They can also be shortened into things like compro, plurplat, etc..
Orientations may be added in a similar manner, with examples including compbisexual / compbi, plurgay / plurhomo, and so on. 
Adding both attraction and orientation types results in comprogay, plurplatbi, and so on. The label comprogay for instance defines someone who has has gay complic+romantic attraction. https://archive.today/nP4dc
==History==
The terms come from plural (for plurelic) and words like “complex”, “community”, and so on for complic. Both were included, for the sake of those who do not identify with the word plural.
==Related Terms==
Complic attraction may lead headmates to pursue an intrapluric relationship. 
Sysian, evian, and plurillean are other descriptors for attraction between system members or plurans.

Concurrent Thinking

Concurrent thinking is the ability and skill of a headmate to think about more than one thing at once.
Usually, multitasking is considered slower than performing the same tasks one after anotherHuman Multitasking on Wikipedia, as trying to stay aware of them both takes more time than actually performing them. However, some systems are used to staying aware of large amounts of things, allowing them to perform this feat.
Concurrent thinking allows beyond simple multitasking - It describes the ability to maintain two separate lines of thoughts, both belonging to the same headmate.

Conductor

A conductor (kuhn·duhk·terhttps://www.howtopronounce.com/conductor) is a system member who is similar to a manager or steward, but may not front themself, or may only do so rarely. Instead, their role is to ensure that those who do front maintain a healthy, productive life. They may do so by assigning tasks to fronters, reminding them of their duties, rewarding them for their accomplishments, etc. There may be more than one conductor in a system, with each perhaps in charge of different subsets of the system.
This term may be used by anyone of any origin.
==Term Origin==
A conductor is "a leader, guide, director, or manager."https://www.dictionary.com/browse/conductor
==Related Terms==
As stated, a conductor is similar to a manager/supervisor. However, as a conductor is typically not a fronter/outernaut, they may be considered an innernaut. They may also be considered an internal version of a steward. In the case that the rest of the system are not able or willing to complete necessary tasks, a conductor may serve as a temporary assidumate.
==History==
"Conductor" was coined by the Felight system in February 2023.
