====== Healthy multiplicity ====== (Namespace: [[plural glossary:start]]) ^ Type of term | Possible end goal for a [[system]] | ^ Synonyms or near-synonyms | [[Coconscious]], [[cofronting]], [[internal communication]], [[memory sharing]] | ^ Antonyms or near-antonyms | [[Blackout]], [[final fusion]], [[grayout]], [[integration]], [[partitionary]], [[time loss]] | Healthy multiplicity is a non-medically-recognized alternative goal state for [[system|systems]] who do not desire [[final fusion]]. The concept is that for some systems, happiness can be attained while remaining [[plural]], and becoming a [[singlet]] is simply not the healthiest possible outcome for them. Usually the connotation is that the resulting system is unchanged in constitution, but massively [[coconscious]]. I am personally unclear on whether or not the community maintains that healthy multiplicity can be attained while remaining fully [[partitionary]].
