Introduction
About us/the blog: We're a polyfragmented DID system that recently realized we're modular and even more recently that we're fractal. Due to our inherent isolation from the plural community(especially from other dissociative systems) and the lack of resources and written accounts from other modular systems, we're starting this blog. Sharing our story and experiences is also part of us trying to heal so cvnt on thattt too
We're in DID therapy. Our brain has audhd and PNES amongst other things, and those play major roles in how our modularity works and presents.
Our system has no individual alters nor fragments, however we've named different clusters and patterns. Plural they/them is preferred when referring to us, but when referring specifically to the host cluster, we use she/her and the name Basil.
Bodily we're a transgirl, adult, and from an eastern european country. We don't expect to vent about our trauma history, but also let's be real, one isn't the most likely to be like us if OEA wasn't involved, at least imo..
Terminology we use: To aid us in understanding and communicating our experiences, we've coined several terms that we'll use throughout this blog: Particle - that's what we call the smallest 'base' dissociative parts of the system. They have no sense of self, hold only one very particular trait/memory/sensation/etc, and feel unique to our modularity rather than like fragments non-modular systems might experience Flare - when multiple(usually dozens) of particles come together and merge, the result is a flare. It's a temporary type of system member that exists to fulfill a particular purpose or because of a trigger. once their work is done (may take milliseconds may take hours, rarely more than a day), they get disassembled back to particles. There's a flare fronting(and probably constantly switching) at all times. Once a flare is disassembled, it's near impossible to see them again, although a similar flare might come to existence at some point. Nebula - this is the clustering and grouping of particles. These clusters have an overarching theme (such as shared trauma, shared general purpose, etc) and the flares that come out of them often have many similarities. Basil, for example, is the 'host nebula'. These clusters have formed naturally and, due to how messy having so many particles and complexity is, they tend to be big and nebulous. Hence the name, heh

DNI: We don't have a dni criteria, but we'd like to keep syscourse and similar away from this blog as the point is to journal about our modularity, not get into discourse
