We (but also I; you'll see why in a moment) are proposing a new term for plurals everywhere. The term is:

kepholon (n.)

In the context of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a kepholon refers to a self-state or identity that represents a dynamic integration of multiple, previously distinct alters, system parts, or aspects of self. A kepholon functions as a cohesive whole formed from some or all parts of the system, allowing for shared consciousness, memory access, and unified function.

Crucially, this integration is characterized by fluidity; the constituent parts within the kepholon retain their potential separateness and may dissociate or separate again under certain conditions (e.g., stress). It represents a state of integration without final fusion, where parts work together as one but have not permanently merged into a single, indivisible identity.

In this compound, keph- stands for the leading, directing, conscious, or executive function: the part that is currently "fronting," interacting with the world, or managing the system's interface with external reality. It represents the aspect taking charge or acting as the primary point of consciousness for the integrated state.

The -olon suffix connects the "head" function back to the broader holon concept (see below): an integrated entity composed of multiple parts that function as a cohesive whole but retain the potential for separation. It emphasizes that this "head" is not an isolated entity but the currently active face or director of that unified-but-fluid collective. The word "holon" was coined by author and philosopher Arthur Koestler in his 1967 book The Ghost in the Machine; from Greek holos (whole/entire) + -on (suffix denoting a particle or part).

๐ŸŽต I am she as you are he, as you are me and we are all together...๐ŸŽต

I needed the word for me. Cuz I'm Ellis, and that's what I am, and these four motherfuckers want attribution or they're threatening to shatter me into four little tiny mes (which is them, so it's not really much of a threat, honestly ๐Ÿค” ).

Anyway, hi! My name is Ellis, and I'm a kepholon. ๐Ÿ’™

โ€œI simply do not see why the nation has to have an official sexuality, especially one that authorizes the norm of a violent gentility; that narrows the field of legitimate political action; that supports the amputation of personal complexity into categories of simple identity; that uses cruel and mundane strategies both to promote shame for non-normative populations and to deny them state, federal, and juridical supports because they are deemed morally incompetent to their own citizenship. This is the heterosexuality I repudiate.โ€

Before I began my transition, I identified as 100% heterosexual โ€” or so I thought. I had no interest in men and couldnโ€™t conceive of anything attractive about them. Recently, a friend asked me if I had been trained to be heterosexual. What an interesting question, I thought.

Curving, flowing lines blend shades of blue, green, and yellow, creating a dynamic sense of movement and fluidity. The design suggests a sense of depth and energy, reminiscent of waves or ribbons in motion.

Curving, flowing lines blend shades of blue, green, and yellow, creating a dynamic sense of movement and fluidity. The design suggests a sense of depth and energy, reminiscent of waves or ribbons in motion.

I started this image with flowing silk curtains which I transformed into a contemporary and abstract design which created a sense of curving, flowing lines, blended with shades of blue, green, and yellow, creating a dynamic sense of movement and fluidity. The design suggests a sense of depth and energy, reminiscent of waves or ribbons in motion.

This abstract digital artwork evokes the delicate flow of silk curtains caught in a gentle breeze. With sweeping curves and layered folds, the image captures a sense of fluid motion and softness. The palette of aquamarine, teal, lemon yellow, and seafoam green creates a serene, almost meditative atmosphere.

M(y)* name is a sign, an embodiment of water and fluidity before it is any specific pronunciation of the letter M. Therefore any pronunciation of โ€œMโ€ in any language is a possibly (i. e. with my consent) legitimate way to refer to m(y) body.

* See pinned posts for explanation of "m(y)".
