A [[system|system's]] host is the [[headmate]] who is "supposed" to [[fronting|front]]. They might not always front, but it is considered problematic for them not to front, and in some cases might happen only in response to stress.

Some systems may not have a host. Some may have more than one host.

A host may be, but is not always, the [[core]] and/or [[original]]. On the other hand, a host who is not very [[elaboration|elaborated]] beyond simply being the host may be a [[facade]].
