#maskbased system

We never know who we are (that when we even are someone)... And it feels pretty lonely too, as most plural spaces are mostly composed of multiples or those with similar experiences to them.

A Proxy System or Proxy Plural/Collective/Etc. is a system where one functions as a singlet (or approximately close to one, such as a median system) due to a frontstuck host, yet all members of the system are completely distinct in the headspace
