polyconscious ( n., adj.)
Applies tosystems, system functions

A system (or subsystem, layer, etc.) with multiple consciousnesses. Members have their own individual consciousness, rather than sharing one together.

Experiences a polyconscious system may have:

  • Switching feels as though you are partly/fully leaving, and someone else is taking over, rather that feeling your own consciousness change.
  • Each system member feels as though they have a distinct, separate consciousness of their own.
  • Switching feels like the person in control changes, or ‘takes over the front,’ rather than the person in front simply 'becoming’ someone else.
  • During co-fronting, you may feel multiple consciousnesses “pushed together” in the front at once.
  • Headspace may or may not be easy to access.

This term is in contrast to monoconscious, which is where a system experiences only one, shared consciousness.[1]
