Separation

undefined:

Separation is the degree to which to headmates are distinct or independent of each other. Members of median (sub)systems are often less separate than members of multiple (sub)systems.

Less-separated members may become more separate through budding, splitting, or similar processes and may become less separate through (partial) merging. Medianflux or mixedflux systems may experience varying separation of members.

History
The term "emancipation" to denote separation and autonomy from the influence of other members may have been introduced by Janet in 1907.

Related Terms
Separation is distinct form elaboration, which refers to the level of sentience or "detail" of members or headspaces.
