Core-Kin

undefined:

a headmate who will eventually (but not always in its' entirety; but not always is the case; but not always) take the place of the core, (does not make them the core; does not change said headmates’ status). a headmate who has enough knowledge and awareness to "take the mantle" of the core (the core is still the core; no change). the Cores' memories and attributes do not fuse with said headmate. Instead, the Cores' memories' and attributes' are used as resources for said headmate to function independently (masking; acting as; playing the part of) until said headmate is ready to function on their own.

this does not change anything; does not change the status, role, job of anyone in the system. this does not change anything within the system.

this method is only done with the Core; none of the other system members are affected by this affect- albeit, perhaps how the others interact with said headmate. the others may not interact with said headmate the same as they had interacted with the Core.
