Plurality is the state of having multiple headmates collectively sharing a single body. A group of headmates is called a system. Plural experiences are extremely diverse; spiritual in nature and secular, median and partionary, small systems or ones with thousands of headmates. There are many causes of plurality, including:

  • Traumagenic systems, resulting from a traumatic event or post-traumatic stress.
  • Systems created through tulpamancy or other explicit acts.
  • Other causes, which can be grouped under the umbrella term endogenic.
  • Mixed-origin systems, which have been created from a combination of causes.
