Sand Fragment

undefined:

Sand Fragments are a type of fragment in polyfragmented systems that are such tiny parts of a whole headmate that they can't even be classified as a regular fragment. They are embodiments of singular emotions, thoughts, memories, etc. They might not have names, ages, identities, or appearances in headspace. They might manifest themselves as whispers or feelings.

If you imagine a fully-formed headmate to be a pane of glass, these types of fragments are sand. Oftentimes when a split happens, large amounts of sand fragments will be created as extra pieces. Most polyfragmented or highly-complex systems have hundreds or thousands. They can fuse into more complete headmates.
