Vessel

A vessel is the name given to a soma, or a sysmate's body, that contains fragments, a subsystem, a bondsystem, or any other containable kind of sisasystem. The term is designed to give nested sysmates a way to refer to their shared physical self, while not having to identify as/with the physical self if they don't want to. This can be particularly useful for sisasystems who do not have a core, such as webbed sisasystems, where there may be no nested sysmates who resemble the vessel.
It can also be used as a descriptor in a bio or role list to indicate that a sysmate contains a sisasystem, useful for collective/blanketself PluralKit proxies.
== History ==
The term has been in use by A Shattered Dragon's Spirit since mid-2020, and was coined by draer host, who is a vessel himself.
Its name is taken from two definitions of the word vessel, "a container of substances, such as a cup, bottle, or bowl", and "a person as a container of qualities or feelings".https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vessel#:~:text=A%20container%20of,vessel%20of%20knowledge.
== Related Terms ==
* The system's shared physical form in shared reality is the body. 
* Intraplural could be used as a synonym in some circumstances.
* The vessel may or may not be similar to, or the same identity as, the sisasystem's host, core, or main. 
* A fractal course is a name for a vessel that specifically contains fragments.

Veysexual

Veysexual is a plural-specific term that describes a headmate who is attracted to the body they reside in. Veysexual can be used with any other orientation (such as gay or sysian) and does not specify a gender. It falls under the auto- umbrella, but specifically meant for plurals.
== History ==
The term was coined by the Starmoon Constellation on August 26th, 2023. The flags were made a day later. https://www.tumblr.com/starmoon-constellation/726833356240781312/okay-ive-been-trying-to-type-this-reblog-for?source=share

Viasystem

A viasystem is a subsystem within a sidesystem; a sort of sidesystem-specific version of nested subsystem. 
This term was made for to be a more specific term than the very broad and general sisasystem 
Subsystems can experience any form of plurality as well. 
==History==
The term was created by sinc1ty/parrotx2 on Discord, on the 16th of november 2020. It has not seen widespread use anywhere since.
== Related Terms ==
A subsystem within a subsystem may be a nested subsystem, and a more broad term for any form of system-within-a-sidesystem is a sisasystem.

Vicarian

A vicarian is a system member that acts on the desires of their headmates, or seeks out positive, satisfying or rewarding things because other members are unable to. These members may have something stopping them or holding them back, such as trauma or anxiety, but the vicarian is not affected by these barriers or is not affected as much. As a result, the headmates experience the acted-upon desires vicariously.https://caninophobia.tumblr.com/post/700886827814584320/some-system-roles-weve-coined-use (archive)

Videogamebased

Videogamebased describes a system whose function, headspace, headmates, etc. are affected by video games without saying anything about the system's origin. This could include the following:
* Having a headspace that looks and functions like a video game
* Fronting feels like controlling a character in a game
* Comparing various system functions to mechanics or functions from video games
* Having introjects from video games
* Conceptualizing your system roles as relating to roles or archetypes in video games
Not all of those things have to be true of a videogamebased system, just enough so they feel like the term fits them.

Vidtive

Vidtive refers to an introject based on or connected to some form of video or something unique to the video. Depending on what part they are based on, they could be considered a fictive, factive, or something in-between or outside of that spectrum. If the headmate is based on the video itself, they could be a conceptive.
== History ==
The term was coined on June 16, 2023, by an unnamed headmate in The Peristeronic System on their Carrd.
== Related Terms ==
If the video the vidtive is based on comes from the internet, they could be a webtive or memetive as well.
Filmtive is a similar term, though it refers specifically to films and movies.

View Regression

View regression, or cognitive regression, describes those who regress, but rather than it being to the mindset of a child or animal, it reverts someone back to a previous state of views and perspective in their personal experience without necessarily changing their mindset. This may include their perception of themselves, the world, and many other things, and someone may regress to a point a few months ago up to several years. As with all forms of regression, it may be a positive experience, a very negative experience, or somewhere in the middle.
Examples may include regressing to a previous belief system or self perception, name or pronouns, or relationship status with others (such as level of trust or familiarity). Regressing may affect just some aspects, or may be like reverting to a "snapshot" of a past time period.
==History==
In their coining post, extranth noted their personal experiences of the concept:<https://archive.today/l5Ewt
"Personal example: We have a system member who, normally, no longer believes in his old belief system. However, under high stress, he sometimes regresses to a point where he was still loyal to that system to keep himself safe / comfortable.
This type of experience has already usually been included within a lot of regression circles, but we're coining this for ourselves to better specify this experience. This is not a form of plurality; the person regressing is the same person, though if they're regressing to a different time period where they used a different name / pronouns, they may prefer them until they're no longer regressing."
==Related Terms==
Age regression is regression to a child-like mindset. 
Pet regression is regression to an animal-like mindset. 
Isomorphic regression may be a similar term specifically relating to median systems. 
Memory regression is regression to an earlier state of personal memory, and may overlap or coincide with view regression. 
During flashbacks, a similar reversal to a previous time may be observed. 
A snapshot is a version of another headmate from an earlier time in their life. A view regressed member may appear similar to a snapshot of themself without another member being involved.

Virtualization

Virtualization is a computing technology that can create virtual versions of something on the same level of abstraction, such as virtual computer hardware platforms, storage devices, and computer network resources.
We can think of a body as a physical computer, which has its own hardware resources, such as the brain, nervous system, sensory organs, etc. These resources can be divided into multiple virtual computers, each running its own operating system, which is its own personality, thoughts, emotions, etc. Each headmate behaves like an independent entity, even though it is only running on a part of the actual underlying hardware.
There are several types of virtualization:
* Full Virtualization: In this type, each virtual machine runs a complete operating system, and does not need to modify the operating system at all. This type can provide the highest compatibility and isolation, but also requires the highest overhead and resource consumption. In a system, this corresponds to those headmate who have a complete self-awareness, memory and independent thinking ability.
* Containerization: In this type, each virtual machine runs on the same operating system kernel, but has its own user space and processes. This type can provide higher efficiency and density, but lower security and isolation. In median, this corresponds to the aspects of an intermediate state system.
* Hybrid Virtualization: In this type, each virtual machine runs a partially modified operating system, in order to interact better with the underlying hardware or other virtual machines. This type can provide better balance and flexibility, but also requires more technology and maintenance. In a system, this may correspond to early created headmate, who do not have fully independent thinking abilities yet, but are no longer completely part of core.
These computer science terms are all about introducing new management methods and problem-solving solutions.
Virus

A Virus ( also called malware ) is a headmate whose role is to either absorb or distribute feelings of sickness, nausea, or other ailments. If a virus is maladaptive, they may only distribute these feelings to other headmates, in which they may have a secondary role as a persecutor. But a virus may also absorb these feelings from other headmates so they may continue on with their task. 
Viruses are not inherently bad or "evil". If they distribute these feelings, they may do it in a misguided attempt at protecting the system from something worse, or putting certain headmates physically out of commission so that way they may get the proper care they need.
That being said, viruses may also hurt themselves if they only absorb these feelings. Such as overworking their body to harbor these feelings so others won't have to. 
Viruses may distribute these feelings they've absorbed to fragments if they reach a "limit" of how much they can hold. There needs to be a healthy balance of absorbing and distributing for these headmates to function properly.
==History==
This term was coined by pluralpedia user WichKount, for a headmate who had this function but didn't exactly have a proper word for it. It was not created for people to use against certain headmates, and is a self-identifier.

Virusgenic

Virusgenic is a term with two definitions:
# A xeno-origin relating to computer viruses.
# An origin for a system or headmate that was formed from an in-headspace virus (for example, one created by a coder, or more fittingly, a hacker). The virus may be a headmate, a sisasystem, or another part of a system, and it may spread itself around or be malicious, much like a computer virus.
==Variants==
Virusorma is a more specific variant referring to headmate origin, using the -orma suffix.
Virusdawn is a more specific variant referring to sisasystem origin, using the -dawn suffix. 
== History ==
Both definitions of the term and the flag were coined by now-defunct Tumblr blog ocean-dot-wav. https://www.tumblr.com/pluralitywords/717023175826964480?source=share

Visamor

A visamor is much similar to a charge, in that a protective figure of some sort watches over another headmate in some way to keep them safe, but the difference is that a visamor involves a sense of intimacy that a protector/charge relationship may not have. That intimacy may be romantic, sexual, sensual, queerplatonic, or any other type of closeness. 
A visamor's protector is called a visus, taken from the latin word for sight. It has the intent of "I have you in my sight and I intend to keep you safe".
==Related Terms==
This term was inspired by a more intimate relationship between a charge and a protector.
A visamor may be part of their visus' protected circle.

Visitor

A Visitor is a system member who currently exists in a system, but is not from that system, having originated from a different system via system travel. Visitors can remain in a system for any amount of time, and their presence can be intentional or accidental.
Alternatively, a visitor may be a living character who interacts with the outerworld occasionally without using a soulbond link.
Visitors are different from adoptives in that they return to their home system eventually.
== History ==
Tourist was an unintentional coining in the Pluralpedia Community Server on 2/24/2024, Kaylon asked if her befriending a system with cities would make her a tourist. SeaSeekers and Hyacinth agreed that Tourist was a good synonym for visitor.

They may have better vision than other headmates or may be less easily distracted or affected by visual stimuli. 
== Term Meaning ==
* Prefix vis- meaning visible or vision 
* Affixe -ocu- meaning eye
* Suffix -er meaning person (Visocuer)
* Suffix -ee meaning person (Visocuee)
* Suffix -ist meaning person (Visocuist)
== History ==
This term was made in thought of the body reacting to different headmates in different ways. Specifically in the vision sense.

Vistroject

A vistroject is a headmate who is visually based on or connected to an external source, but are themself a non-introject.https://at.tumblr.com/lightlozabow/vistroject-an-alterheadmate-whose-appearance-is/s6d4q9vppmfe
This term can be used by any system, but is specifically coined for aphantasia (an inability to see images in your head) in mind, as such systems may struggle to understand what headmates look like and thus cause them to be visually based on or connected to an external source.
The term is a portmanteau of "visual" and "introject."
== Additional Micro Labels ==
=== High-Vistroject ===
A vistroject that is either extremely similar to an external source or that is based on the entirety of an external source
=== Middle-Vistroject ===
A vistroject that is somewhere between high and low. Basically a vistroject that has significant connection to an external source but is not entirely reflective of it.
=== Low-Vistroject ===
A vistroject that only holds a small level of similarity to an external source. It can describe a vistroject that only share one or two features with the source or one that has a source that only presents a small number a features, while the rest of the headmate's features are unique.

A Facetroject is specifically based on a face.
A faceclaim is any face element that a system member uses (such as a face, a voice, etc.) for appearence inside/outside of the system.
If the headmate in question gained this appearance after forming, they may be considered a pre-fictive or pre-factive. 
This appearance may be considered a transformative source.
Headmates like this may or may not consider themself molded rather than sourced.

Vivien

Vivien is a type of system structure, in which some or all of a system's headmates are sentispaces created by the will or intention of other headmates (which could be either a conscious or a subconscious act).
Those in a vivien system may have some groups or all of their headspaces (or layers) formed like this, in which the vivien-type sentispaces form a sidesystem of their own, growing alongside the main system.
Vivien sentispaces tend to form a closer bond with the person that has willed them to exist (aka a viva). This may also mean that some vivien sentispaces will interact with viva more than other headmates when they want to change things within the headspace.
Vivien sentispaces may identify as a full headmate, a ceter, or a partial-member, or may not even identify as a member at all. Not all of a vivien-structured system's headspaces are necessarily vivien sentispaces.
Vivien sentispaces could function exactly like any other headmate, or they may function very differently. They can also be median subsystems or any other forms of existing. 
==History==
The word "vivien" comes from the first ever sentispace the coiner have met within their own system, whom is Vivienne, or Vivi for short.
== Related Terms==
Vivien type systems may also be empiritien.
The bond between a viva and a vivien sentispace may be considered symbiosis.
A symbiotic system refers to a system in which there are only symbiotics (living beings connected by symbiosis to the same sentient headspace).
