monoconscious culture is reblogging something for another alter because you know theyd reblog it if they were fronting

sometimes being a system is losing memories, having constant identity issues, and struggling to process trauma, and other times it's taking 20 minutes on your makeup only for someone else to switch out that hates makeup so you have to take it off right away

Biconscious

A '-counscious' term in which two or more consciousnesses exist in the one body/system, however the number of consciousnesses is less than the number of headmates.

Headmates may be monoconscious with some system members, while having a separate consciousness to others in the system. It's possible for an individual to have their own non-shared consciousness while others in the system are part of (a) shared consciousness(es). These consciousness groups could also be subsystems or sidesystems, but not necessarily.

An example of what this would look like is headmates feeling as though they're 'becoming' a headmate when switching with those in their consciousness group, while experiencing possessive switches when they switch with someone outside their consciousness group.

Hey uh- do you have any resources/anecdotes on monoconsciousness?? I'm only asking you because you mentioned in you and Caldwell's "coming out" post that yall are and I feel like it's hard to find any sources more helpful than "well the consciousness monos". Thanks I hope this is no hassle!!

I also had some trouble finding that; I learned about it from another couple of monoconscious systems wei happen to be friends with, so most of my information admittedly comes from their experiences and explanations (and comparing to muir own). Most of what I have found doesn't explain it in words that make much sense to me, unfortunately, so that's not helpful.

Effectively what it means, as far as I can tell, is that the system has only one "camera," one sense of consciousness, which in most of our cases seems to be locked to the front, but idk if that's actually true of a larger sample size. Switching doesn't manifest as "I step away from the front and leave my headmate to take over" so much as the sense of "me" becoming someone else (as that other person takes over the "camera") and then watching the headmate that was fronting leave to go do whatever.

(In our case, I don't really leave the front, so it's mostly a question of how much Viridian is in the front with me, versus sitting "on the couch" and calling up to me (usually where she's at if she's not actively doing something, because she really doesn't like blurring with me, which tends to happen if she's fully co-fronting with me), versus way in the back where I can't really communicate with her.)

In our case, we don't hold a whole lot of memory about what people are doing when they're not in or near the front, but that may be because Viridian doesn't have much do to except sleep or watch whatever I'm doing, given that there aren't other headmates for her to interact with; we know monoconscious systems that do remember what a headmate that switches into the front was doing before that in the back, and monoconscious systems who have basically no awareness of what's going on in the back at any time. I think that just varies.

Hopefully that helps a little, at least? And hopefully people have better resources than I do in the notes. (I'd love to read them myself, lol.)

Can anyone describe what being monoconcious vs ...not that feels like? I still can't understand considering idk which we are and wouldn't know how the other feels.

I've never experienced polyconsciousness so I can't technically describe it but I can try, especially since it's talked about a lot more (and other systems are welcome to chime in!), oh but also as a side note I imagine all experiences are varied between systems

but first of all, what being monoconscious feels like. so headmate A is fronting. maybe they're also in a fronting room, and they can interact with the stuff in that room because they're fronting, but they'd have to dissociate from the body a little to do so cuz they can't do two things at once. and then headmate B is in the fronting room, headmate A can feel them, but B is not actually conscious. and then they want to switch, so there's this smooth shift between feeling like you're headmate A to feeling like you're headmate B. headmate B can now interact with the outerworld however they'd like, think whatever thoughts they'd like, and interact with the fronting room. but what if A and B want to talk to each other? well, B would have to initiate it because they're the one fronting, they're the one who's conscious. they can say something to A and then give A the consciousness momentarily to reply, so it's very fluid back and forth switching during a conversation, and if they weren't doing it, the unconscious headmate's replies wouldn't seem quite right because the conscious headmate would be coming up with the responses (ironically, they'd most likely be doing this unconsciously, as in they're not deliberately coming up with the other guy's responses it just happens). and what if the unconscious headmate wants to do something around the fronting room? well let's say that whilst they were conscious headmate A decided what they wanted to do, they went to the back of the fronting room to do it, and B became conscious. if A is doing what they wanted to do, it's only as much as the brain can muster while B has the consciousness, so maybe A's actions are repetitive or subtle, and you won't get jumpscared by anything they're doing because the fronter has to watch them in order for them to do anything. although we can feel the small actions when we're not watching so maybe we have a hint of polyconsciousness. but then you have to ask yourself, are they actually doing that? (does it matter?) but what if the fronter wants to do something with the unconscious headmate in the fronting room? same as above, the unconscious one would only be able to do small things, but if they keep switching consciousness back and forth it'd be easier. I know some people may feel fake or invalid for being monoconscious, but remember that everyone in your system can still be individuals with different views on the world, different thoughts, opinions, genders, sexualities, ages, etc., and you can still form real, strong, emotional bonds of all kinds with your headmates. monoconscious systems are just as valid as polyconscious ones.

alright I think I've covered enough of monoconscious, onto polyconscious, the shorter explanation because I don't have personal experience. when you're co-fronting, everyone who's fronting has their own consciousness, so they can think their own thoughts and do what they want with the body, you can have people opposing each other with what they want to do. you can feel when someone takes control of the body from you, or when they just take part of the body, like they're possessing you. when you switch, the last fronter either goes into the innerworld and can actually do stuff there cuz they're conscious, or they go unconscious. but this is different to in monoconscious systems because the headmate's individual consciousness is going unconscious, and the new fronter has their own consciousness. and you can get jumpscared by your headmates because they can speak whenever they want and do whatever they want whenever they want when not fronting

you can also be somewhere between polyconscious and monoconscious, you can fluctuate between the two, and anything else. and actually we technically have had a polyconscious experience! but only once I think. it was when a headmate got triggered to front by a unicorn and yelled out "unicorn!" before the current fronter even noticed it. so you know, brains are weird

What I think is really funny is the fact even though we are out as a system on Tumblr, we are not officially out on Twitter yet

But we still use the royal "we" super casually on there, so like...every time we slip that into our tweets, we wonder how long it will be before someone manages to guess what is really going on hashjfshgkshgshgsh

You know cause from their perspective it probably just looks like a singlet using the royal we for no apparent reason, but then like there's literally multiple people in this head ahaha...

Honestly a big part of the reason we do this is just because...well, we do not really like making a big deal of “coming out” officially and all that. We would rather just naturally exist as ourself, and maybe just casually mention our plurality whenever it becomes relevant. You know what we mean?

Do any monoconscious systems have any tips on switching intentionally? We're collectively a frontstuck monocon median subsystem, for reference, but we have no control over switches between ourselves. engaging in typical positive front triggers only seems to work ~15% of the time, which isn't exactly reliable. We thought we were fine not being able to direct the flow, but it's becoming a problem for some of us. if anyone that experiences monoconscious plurality has any ideas, resources, tips/tricks, etc, it'd be deeply appreciated

This is not really everything I wanted to talk about but I figured just putting my thoughts in order would be good. Opinions from people experiencing this or similar situations is very welcome !

I don't hear anyone's voice, and that's like the number one thing I keep reading about, "just ask them if they're there", nobody and nothing answers

But I feel intense dissociation (depersonalisation and derealization with some memory loss ?) and personality shifts where I feel like I'm completely different people or I feel like these thoughts aren't mine at all, but what confuses me is that it's still me ? Sort of ? I don't feel like it is but I'm there, I'm conscious of the events happening even though I mostly forget them after

It is incredibly overwhelming, I don't want to feel like this, if it is someone or something else, I don't want to be involved

These are usually moments where I experience intense emotion or where I feel like a different being that don't feel like me (a magical girl, an angel and a visual novel character), and that things are just very wrong for no reason

Overall I am just confused and upset because this gives me a headache when it happens and dissociation is just never fun

I've been reading on median systems and possibly monoconsciousness but I dont want to jump on those labels before exploring different possibilities, because it might not be plurality at all (another option I'm exploring is BPD, for the dissociation and lack of sense of self and the intense emotions)

Either way thanks for reading

HYDRACONSCIOUS FLAG

Realized there was no flag for hydraconscious so we made one its a mix of the monoconscious and the polyconscicous flags

Hydraconscious refers to a system which every member has an individual conscious but also everyone shares a collective conscious.

Monoconscience culture is switching between I/me, we/us, AND third person pronouns when talking about something your headmate did that you actually had little to no involvement in.

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for monoconscious systems!

On Pluralpedia, a monoconscious system is defined as “a system with only one consciousness. Members do not have an individual consciousness, but instead share the collective consciousness.” This post is for those systems!

Sharing a consciousness with your headmates does not make you any less plural or any less of a system! Even if you experience multiplicity in a unique, rare, or unheard of way, your experience matters, you matter, and you are an important and welcome member of the plural community!

☀️ Shoutout to systems that are specutien, don’t switch, or have frontstuck members due to being monoconscious! ☀️

🌙 Shoutout to systems who often feel blurry or muddled due to having to share a consciousness with multiple members! 🌙

☀️ Shoutout to systems who sometimes mistake other headmates’ thoughts for their own due to being monoconscious! ☀️

🌙 Shoutout to systems who are not believed or taken seriously because their system is monoconscious! 🌙

☀️ Shoutout to polyfragmented monoconscious systems, or monoconscious systems that contain subsystems! ☀️

Regardless of how your system formed, how it’s functioned in the past, or how it functions now, you are an important and welcome part of the plural community! Please continue to be your authentic selves, explore your identity(ies) and get to know your system and yourself! We wish y’all the very best on your journey of self discovery, and hope you’ll find acceptance, kindness, and the space to flourish and grow!

Quick question, what is the difference between monoconscious and a median system?

monoconscious systems can be multiple and median systems can be polyconscious, so they're on different spectrums. this post (link) is the best explanation we can come up with for what monoconscious means. monoconscious systems can be multiple, they can be completely separate headmates with completely separate personalities and interests, the only separation they don't have is different consciousnesses. on the other hand, a median system is one that doesn't have distinct members, they may be sort of blurred together. it's hard to explain because it can be so varied and we're not median ourselves, but basically it's a point between being a singlet and being completely distinct headmates. if they each have their own consciousness and have possessive switches then they're polyconscious, if not they may be monoconscious (though there are quite a lot of consciousness types, but that's something for another post)
