pt/ umbrella/standard stability terms [set of 6]. /end pt

-> explanation of stability labels can be found here. colors of these flags are based off of the general stability terms flag.

unsure stability: stability is unclear for any reason.

varied or nuanced stability: stability may vary, fluctuate, or is dependent on something, thus is nuanced.

stable stability: stability is stable.

unstable stability: stability is unstable.

increasing stability: stability is increasing, going from unstable to stable/more stable.

decreasing stability: stability is decreasing, going from stable to unstable/more unstable.

all terms were coined by us on july 23 2025. plural-only terms, but open for any plural to use (no matter origin, etc.)

pt/ stability terms (general). /end pt

a subcategory of plural-specific terms regarding the stability of headmates, or overall system structures.

'stability' is in reference to the level of risk for fusion, dormancy, or fragmentation. headmate stability would be one's personal risk of fusing, going dormant, or fragmenting. system/plural/collective stability would be the risk of system collapse or other mass-dormancy/fusion/fragmentation events. collective stability terms can be used for sisasystems as well.

a stable headmate or system would not be at risk for any of the above; an unstable headmate or system would be.

stability terms are referred to as such and may work separately from, alongside, or in place of a role, depending how an individual plural may want to consider it. terms most likely follow the structure of "[describing word] stability" or "[describing word] collective/system stability"

the flag colors are representative of: unclear stability (orange), varied or nuanced stability (blue), stability (purple), instability (yellow), and acceptance for all systems (gray + white).

this subsection of terminology was coined by us on july 23 2025, though anyone is free to coin their own specific stability terms. any similar terms, or flags, we were not aware of prior to coining and are merely coincidental.

this term is open to all systems (no matter origin, etc.) and we ask (but cannot require) anyone coining their own stability terms to do the same.

pt/ vacational stability + vacationer (role). /end pt

vacational stability: a stability label(link) for a headmate who's only stable long enough or during the time it takes to give another/the others a break. this headmate may be a soother, a task handler, a temporary host or cohost, or fill in any other role. they become unstable when they don't have a role to fill in. alternatively, this headmate may literally only be stable during a bodily vacation or break.

vacationer: a role for a headmate who intentionally and consensually gives others breaks. this role is very similar to and can be considered an alternative to a substitute or chameleon role, but is intended as a more consensual, positive, and intentional stand-in. headmates may be described as very easy-going, relaxed, fun-loving, and chill (but of course don't have to be). they may also be considered as soothers, task handlers, temporary hosts or cohosts, or any other technical role (either long-term or only when filling in roles). this headmate may also, in addition to or instead of this description, take it on themselves to front primarily during bodily vacations or breaks - often to ensure it is enjoyable and fulfilling.

these are intended as plural terms; any system (of any origin, etc.) can use them.

pt/ source stability [set of 3]. /end pt

-> explanation of stability labels can be found here.

source stability: a stability label where a headmate is only stable as long as their source content is active, or only as long as their system is actively engaging with their source content.

spinterest stability: a stability label where a headmate is only stable as long as their source content is active, or only as long as their system is actively engaging with their source content. however, the source content is specifically one or more of their system member's special interests, or a collective special interest. exclusive to those with asd / autism (spectrum disorder).

first two icons directly inspired by this flag template.

hyperfix stability: a stability label where a headmate is only stable as long as their source content is active, or only as long as their system is actively engaging with their source content. however, the source content is specifically one or more of their system member's hyperfixations, or a collective hyperfixation. exclusive to those with adhd / attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

-> spinterest stability + hyperfix stability suggested by @absiinthe :)

these are plural terms open to any plural (no matter origin, etc.) and only exclusive (to those with autism/adhd) if using the sp/in or hyperfix specific terms.

pt/ stress-unstress collective stability. /end pt

a stability label(link) for collectives/plurals/systems/+ whose stability fluctuates based on stress levels.

for example, under stressful circumstances, a system may be more prone to system collapses or other mass dormancy/fusion/fragmentation events; and, when not stressed, the system is more stable. or, the reverse may be true; a system may be more unstable when they're not stressed and stable when they are stressed. this can be for any reason.

this is a plural term and can be used by anyone.
