What is a willo system? I've only ever heard it once but I never really had the opportunity to ask the definition of it /genq
Willo systems are systems that are willingly or intentionally created, ive heard of some traumatenic systems making Willogenic headmates to help stabilise the rest of the system cause it was so difficult for them to cope with the instability, but its basically intentionally making a system or headmate/headmates for any reason, from lonliness to curiosity (though i recommend thinking VERY long and hard about it) to needing help coping with trauma that is already there but they didnt split a system for.
It's different from tulpamancy cause Tulpamancy has the headmates begin by mimicking and parroting the Tulpamancer. They start as very basic forms, and then they're developed more (from the tulpamancer answering for them until the Tulpa learns) and become separate as they slowly learn, developing into their own being.
Tulpas usually exist outside the mind, where they are almost superimposed on top of the physical world (on a plane we call Tulpa-plane) and can go into the headspace and interact with/poke/move the body very gently (we always asked permission to, though 🌌's become more relaxed with it as they've gotten used to us). Non-Tulpa headmates can still exist outside of the mind, too, but from what i know, it's rarer...? Idrk, ik we can, though :P
