Quoientoject

A term for headmates who are unsure if they are entomates or OCtives. This uncertainty can occur due to a headmate being created around the same time they started being used as an OC, making the distinction on whether or not they’re an entomate that was used as an OC shortly after creation— or an OC that was created first only to be very quickly turned into an OCtive— difficult to impossible to determine. This term is similar to obliquesfons, however quoientoject specifically refers to OCtives and other introjects that fall under the OCtive umbrella. A quoientoject is also not sure of their origins and can be an OCtive, entomate, or both— while an obliquesfons knows their origins and can confidently say they are both an entomate and a fictive.

stanza: a group of system members with an inherent, unchosen connection to each other

similar to clusters, but the connection in a stanza is not necessarily related to any similarities between members

members of the same stanza might feel positively, neutrally, or negatively towards each other

stanzas may be more easily predisposed to having specific relationships with each other in-system (platonic, familial, romantic, alterous, sexual, etc) but they do not have to, and their connection is not defined by any in-system relationship they might have

stanzas can be identified from the outside (especially by other system members), as the connection is not something defined by the alters in the stanza. being part of a stanza is decided at formation (or equivalent), not by anyone in the system personally

related terms:

couplet: a stanza made of two system members

tercet: a stanza made of three system members

quatrain: a stanza made of four system members

quintet: a stanza made of five system members

etc. based on poetic terms (look up other numbers if you* like, or feel free to use stanza regardless of number)

introjects in stanzas might be sourcemates, in a stanza with an introject from an entirely different source, or they might be in a stanza with a non-introject. members of stanzas may form or otherwise make themselves known at similar times, or far apart from each other. members of a stanza might be in a sisasystem together, be in different sisasystems, not be in a sisasystem at all, or any other configuration. they might be extremely similar or complete opposites

essentially: the connection has no apparent pattern or meaning. but it is undeniably there

poetic: a system made mostly or entirely of stanzas. meant to be placed in front of your* preferred term (system, plural, collective, etc)

The Problems With Trump’s Multi-Front Trade Fight: DealBook Briefing

[ad_1]

The new deadline may help push along Nafta negotiations with Mexico and Canada, but the European Union is becoming a big problem for Mr. Trump’s trade agenda. The bloc has gained another reprieve from the steel and aluminum tariffs and apparently has given up nothing.

That has likely put the European Union in a stronger position, which it may now use in negotiations with the United…
