Biconscious

Biconscious:

Biconscious refers to a system with two or more consciousnesses, however this differs from polyconscious as the number of consciousnesses is less than the number of headmates.

Headmates may be monoconscious with some system members, while having a separate consciousness to others in the system. It's possible for an individual to have their own non-shared consciousness while others in the system are part of (a) shared consciousness(es). These consciousness groups could also be subsystems or sidesystems, but not necessarily.

An example of what this would look like is headmates feeling as though they're 'becoming' a headmate when switching/having fluid switches with those in their consciousness group, while experiencing possessive switches when they switch with someone outside their consciousness group.
