Host Transfer

undefined:

A host transfer is the process of one host (or several hosts) of a system stepping down and begin replaced by another headmate. This is not a temporary change, as with a temp-host or a co-host taking over for a limited amount of time, but a permanent change. This transfer may happen in a planned and orderly manner, or may be suddenly and unexpectedly necessary due to the current host no longer being able to fulfil their duties.

A temporary host or any present co-hosts may take on additional responsibilities for a time while the transfer is happening.

The span of time during which a host transfer occurs may be called a host transfer period.

During rapid host transfer, several transitions occur in a short span of time.

Transferian systems may experience regular host transfers, with some exchange of fragments accompanying each transition.
