| Synonyms | facetmate, aspect[1], fragment |
| Applies to | headmates of median systems |
Facet is a less-differentiated headmate, most commonly seen in median systems. They may present as an "alternate personality", holders of specific traits or emotions, or "masks" layered over a central headmate (called a core, blanketself, or other names). Typically, facets do not have amnesiac barriers, but not always.
Related Terms[edit | edit source]
Median systems commonly label their headmates as facets, while OSDD-1a systems sometimes do as well.
Facets that blur the line between kin and introject can identify as a fableing or factional.
Fragment may overlap and even be considered a synonym, depending on personal definition, since both terms refer to less-differentiated headmates.
