Data Packet

Data Packet:

A data packet is a unit of information that can be uploaded into an atrium, downloaded into a headmate, or left in front or a fronting consciousness. This information can be memories, emotions, thoughts, or any combination of the above. The packet is usually encoded with the creators information or unique signature. It may physically appear in headspace as letter, book, file on a computer, or something similar.

A data packet may be created to store implicit lore, organize memories for front or an atrium, or to transfer information between headmates or consciousnesses as a form of internal communication. Systems whose thinking is conceptual may find that they automatically communicate with data packets.
