Playful Chaos

Our system brain is constantly brimming over with some form of chaos. Everyone reacts in some way to everything that is said on the outside, and we find that that's ok. It's better than hiding things from the members of the system. We don't want everyone to be sheltered, though we do know that the littles require some protection from the ... naughtier side of things. But when the doors and windows are open, everything is chaos. It's a soothing, reassuring kind of chaos though, lets me know they're still there. We have a water slide in the main system house, along with a regular slide. One of them curves around the banister of the stairway through the center. The smell of some food from one of Farren's AI chefs is always in the air, coming from the kitchen at the other end of the house, and even outside, from the cafes along the streets of the little village the system house is positioned outside of. Kids slide along the slides, Kevin even daring to slide down the banister when Brooke isn't chasing him up and down the stairs. It's chaos. I love it ... they're my family. My community. Our collective.

Updates and Housekeeping

Hello all, It's Kayla again, back again with another blog post. THis one is pretty basic, no heavy or deep content for this post. Apologies for that, but it's been a while and I felt we should probably make sure our readers had an updated list of sites to find our content. We have recently had some extreme household changes, and that has opened the doors to allow us to create more, as we have more energy to spare on ourselves. Self care has been, in complete honesty, very difficult over the past few years, but I feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel now.  What follows is a list of links to various content pages, starting with our LinkTree, which has all the important pages on it and should allow readers and eventually listeners, once we start the podcast, to find things a bit easier than trying to navigate through blog posts.  The link to the linkTree is as follows.  https://linktr.ee/cadence022 As always, our Mastodon page is open for readers and those who are

A small overview of system roles

Greetings everyone,  It's Kayla again, coming back to you today with a post about various types of system roles. This page is an overview, more information will be linked below in the resources section, and more posts will be posted on the blog regarding more in-depth information on each of these, so make sure to check back if you're interested in that series.  In the interest of giving credit where credit is due, the following definitions were generated by AI before being edited for accuracy and added upon to more thoroughly capture our experience of multiplicity. We did this both in an effort to get as unbiased a perspective as possible, and also to use as an example in a future blog post.  Definitions Host - The alter who fronts (interacts with the outside world) the most and considers themselves the "main one" or core identity. The host keeps daily life running smoothly by managing responsibilities. I, Kayla, am the host of this collective. The origin/core ideolog

Functional Multiplicity

In our last few posts, we have gone into fusion, blending, and integration. See the posts from th epast two days for more details. Today, we're going to start the discussion pertaining to the last path of healing a plural or system can take should they choose to do so. This path is commonly known as functional multiplicity.  Functional multiplicity is defined as the ability to remain stable according to normal ranges of stability for your particular system, while still remaining plural. This is, in essence, the opposite of integration, as nobody is fused into anyone else unless they choose to be. Nobody is forced to leave the system, in fact often times if functional multiples allow it, they may receive more system members just from their meditations and visualizations, which we will go into later. Functional multiplicity involves things like being able to communicate with your system, having coping mechanisms in place for when you need them, and doing the things necessary for you
