Host is oftentimes confused for "core", because in some systems, one headmate is both. The former can be any headmate of any origin, while the latter refers to a body's native personality; both may or may not exist in a system, though, and a system without a host can be labeled as a collection. A co-host (or perinaut) is exactly what it sounds like: a headmate that, with others, shares the hosting role. It is also not to be confused with main.
