Exigotien

undefined:

Exigotien is a modifier to system functions, origins, or similar traits to indicate that several headmates or groups of headmates have different opinions or perspectives on said trait. For example, headmates may disagree on what the system's or a member's origin is or how exactly they formed, on the mechanisms behind certain system functions, or on the nature of their headspace.

This term may apply to differences in opinion that are based on perspective, like whether a member is a persecutor or not, or disagreements as with contragenic origins.

It may also describe how some experiences can not be objectively classified and are interpreted differently by different members. This could include whether a function is interpreted as spiritual or purely psychological, whether or not certain experiences fall under synesthesia, or where headmates fall on scales of separation or fragmentation.

Use and Etymology
A system may say that they are "exigotien spiritual" (adverb), or that their "origin is exigotien" (adjective).

The term is derived from the Greek verb εξηγώ (exigo) for explaining or interpreting, and the -tien suffix referring to system functions.

Related Terms
Terms with the quoi- prefix or under the quasigenic umbrella indicate that a function is not fully understood or does not fully apply. This may overlap with exigotien functions.

Several protector and persecutor subterms depend on perspective, such as accuser and mutineer.

Origin Perspective is similar, but differentiates in that it refers to one specific origin and different headmates' perspectives on that origin.
