terminology

DO NOT RELY ON THESE DEFINITIONS

This is a snapshot of terminology which is evolving quickly -- meanings of these terms will change, certainly some of these may become harmful and can be put behind a content shield, many new words will be coined that refine the idea space.

Tell me if there's a problem.

• Age Slider - a fragment whose perceived age can move within a range.
• Alter
• ANP - Apparently Normal Part. See Parts terminology.
• Backrooms backrooms
• Co-Con - Co-Conscious. I imagine this as Han Solo flying the plane, but Chewbaca the wookey is right there. Or perhaps more like being in the back seat.
• Caregiver - role. Or “caretaker”
• Complete "Integration" of Alters -- means the same as "Fusing" - at the end, less alters. Some consider it healing, others grieve lost alters.
• EP - emotional part - trauma-holder fragment (in fragment terminology) See Parts terminology.
• Factive
• Fictive - an introject type of alter whose source is (for example) a character from a work of fiction. If the drill sargeant from (some movie with a drill sergeant) helps a system to be motivated, that this is a fictive introject with a helper role.
