A Corpnum-mate or Corpnumist is a system member that sleeps when the body sleeps. A corpnum-mate does not necessarily only sleep when the body sleeps, but they cannot stay awake while the body is sleeping.
A corpnum-mate does not necessarily have to front to sleep while the body is sleeping, but it is common. If they do front, they may be front-locked, but it is not required. A system member can sometimes temporarily become a corpnum-mate by becoming frontstuck.
A system can have multiple corpnum-mates, and they may all be a part of a subsystem or sidesystem, or not.
