Multiple

Multiple:

A multiple system is the state of being more than one entity in one physical body where the divisions between headmates are more distinct.

This may include other attributes, like lack of memory sharing, lack of internal communication, or lack of co-consciousness and resulting time loss. It may also include more distinct individuality and identity.

The term is sometimes used as opposed to median, where divisions between system members is less distinct than with a multiple system.
