Network of Symbiosis

undefined:

A network of symbiosis refers to a situation in which multiple symbiotic connections between one sentient headspace and multiple living beings (such as headmates) are in place.

It is highly unusual for sentient headspaces to have more than a few symbiotics, but still possible nonetheless.

Such a network may lead all symbiotics to feel the same things and act the same way, given that the sentispace channeling all the connections may have a hard time dealing with that many mental/emotional information at once. This may accidentally lead to a hive-like behavior.

A vivien system is a type of system structure in which some/all of a system's headmates are sentispaces, created by the will/intention of other headmates (named viva), voluntarily or not.

"Resonants" is the headmate counterpart of "Symbiotics"; this type of connection is called Resonance. Similarly, Synpath is a term that refers to having a similar deep connection/bond with something, such as strongly relating to it, acting like it/understanding it, but not quite being it; typically a fictional character.
