Further terminology:
Endogenic system - a head with multiple people in it that was created by its own actions
Traumagenic system - a head with multiple people in it that was created by trauma. Often DID or OSDD

Introject - a headmate whose identity is based on an external source such as a character
Fictive - a headmate based on a fictional character. May or may not believe they’re truly the same person as in the media, for any philosophical opinion on what “the same person” means.
