Internal communication refers to any deliberate metacognitive method by which different [[headmate|headmates]] in a [[system]] communicate with each other entirely within the [[body|body's]] greater collective mind without requiring an external medium. An example of one possible way it could work might be that the sender thinks a conscious and intentional thought which is mentally labelled for receipt specifically by the intended recipient, and the recipient experiences this thought as a cognitive [[intrusion]] heard in the grammatical second person---but this is not the only possible approach. Different systems have different approaches, and some have none at all.
