Network of Symbiosis

undefined:

A network of symbiosis refers to a situation in which multiple symbiotic connections between one sentient headspace and multiple living beings (such as headmates) are in place.

Such a network may lead all symbiotics to feel the same things and act the same way, given that the sentispace channeling all the connections may have a hard time dealing with that many mental/emotional information at once.

(It is highly unusual for sentient headspaces to have more than a few symbiotics, but still possible nonetheless.)
