Phasic

undefined:

A phasic system is a system whose front fluctuates, changes, adapts, or goes through phases in reaction to certain stimuli. This can be due to neurodivergence, hyperfixation, changes in environment, trauma, stress, convenience, or just because it's how the system naturally functions.

A phasic system's front can either cycle from member to member or prioritize a specific member for a certain amount of time, but it is bound to change eventually.

Phasing in a system is not permanent, and can vary in intensity and duration.

Examples of being phasic:


 * A change in a system's setting causes a specific headmate to be more present in front because they are the most suited for the environment. This headmate ceases to front once the system is out of that environment.


 * An introject begins fronting more often in response to their system getting back into their source material. The introject continues to front during the duration of this interest and only stops once the fixation is over.


 * The brain feels a natural pull to bring a certain member to front if they are being prioritized rather than other headmates who would normally be suited for the situation.
