'''Endogenic''' is a term that refers to people confused about what being a system is. Many endogenic "systems" are not systems at all and are in fact "roleplaying" or using the label system wrongly. A handful of endogenic systems are actually traumagenic systems who have not come to terms with their trauma and/or deny it, labeling themselves endogenic to avoid that confrontation. In short endogenic systems are not a real thing.
'''Endogenic''' is an umbrella term that refers to all [[system]]s that are not completely [[traumagenic]] in origin, it encompasses many experiences. It is often seen as the opposite to the pathologized views of [[plurality]], although can exist in harmony, even within the same system.

Endogenic is an umbrella term that refers to all systems that are not completely traumagenic in origin, it encompasses many experiences. It is often seen as the opposite to the pathologized views of plurality, although can exist in harmony, even within the same system.

History

The creation of this term can be found on this Tumblr blog in mid-2014, in addition to other terms that have not picked up much steam. Beyond the original coiner's creation, it has come to mean anything not-traumagenic.

Even earlier, "natural system" was used for any system that was not caused through trauma. It referred to the "natural" development of multiplicity in some individuals, often of spontaneous or spiritual formation (as purposely created headmates like tulpas often had their own communities and weren't commonly seen).

Related Terms

It is sometimes shortened to "endo", though shortening it like this came from system exclusionists, so not every endogenic system is comfortable having it used for them.

There are many subtypes of endogenic plurality, including those of a metaphysical nature, purposely created through tulpamancy or other created systems, or existing since the beginning. Endogenic systems are often disapproved of by sysmeds.
