Switch Momentum

undefined:

Switch momentum describes how the ease with which a system can switch may change depending on how long it has been since the last switch.


 * Immediately after a switch, the switch momentum may be high, making it more likely that another switch will happen soon since the current fronter isn't settled yet. If accelerated, this may lead to rapid switching.


 * Similarly, with more time passing since the last switch, the front may become switch-inert, and it may be harder for the current fronter to switch out. They may also feel themselves get drawn back to front after having switched out. This may lead to the current fronter becoming front sticky.

Switch momentum and inertia may be traits of the front itself, or may be individual to each headmate.

If a headmate becomes switch-inert due to becoming invested in outerworld events, this could also be considered, humorously, five-more-minutes-syndrome.
