as nao says dissipating you as the host is permanently switching your identity(edited)
2:28 PM
so those are the effects
2:29 PM
mhmm, and host's identity has had whole life to develop
2:30 PM
usually mental health problems make it easier for people because as arseny mentioned the resistance plays a role and if someone feels they have nothing to lose then that makes it easier
Systems that dissipated their hosts commonly report the host's traits cropping up in other headmates. I guess that's a side effect to consider. But, like, don't dissipate yourself
2:50 PM
I doubt it feels like being asleep, the body is still living it's life as the remaining headmates, and that's what it would feel like
Host ego death would be like switching and never being able to switch back because the host identity is gone. It would be like you forgot how to be someone, but that's what it's like for any kind of dissipation

However, for Spirit, it seems like what little bits he didn't think were harmful he might have given to Gerodious.

We haven't had a merge show Spirit's traits, hopefully that stays that way
Certainly. I think that the concept of dissipation is somewhat symbolic, in that unless you've truly forgotten the tulpa they are always present in the mind. But they take the form of knowledge, rather than thought until put back into practice.

@Zen - jump
Yeah, exactly. Dissipation is just a convenient symbol for us.

IE, when you're doing advanced math. Your tulpa is very likely not functioning at that time. I'd actively expect in those instances memories they may have are confabulated unless the individual is truly one of the rare super-multitasking people.
Unless I'm asleep, I would probably stare at the math while mentally dying and waiting until it ends. But in case of our system life doesn't belong only to the host. It's our life, not "host's life"
So I've heard the term "forwarding my senses" used here and there. Does it imply that a headmate not in front doesn't by default perceive the things you do, or is it more accurate that they do perceive what you perceive and that notion is more to the effect of actively dating their attention to it?
I think whether this is the case is actually based on presumption.

Though I do think if they're not linked to some sort of visualization or senses it means they're effectively in stasis, whether they're confabulating something or not.
10:41 PM
My tulpa only perceives via my senses according to them, whilst switched in and co-hosting.
I actually think I prefer my way, because I think it makes them more naturally linked to visualizations of their form, which in turn gives them a greater sense of self and may help reinforce some hallucinatory effects based on them perceiving from their form's perspective.
Well what makes sense to you? That they are starting off as this bodyless identity attached to your senses and perception, or that they are bound up in this mental form, which relies on visualized space to stay around, until such a time as they jump on in your perspective?
If I could choose, I'd say she was someone separate from me that utilizes my brain to continue existing, but most of what I read thus far points to the contrary
10:49 PM
I don't have any game of reference for a "visualized space" though so I can't really imagine that concept
I'd honestly say the first is equally a presumption. But I'd forgotten you had aphantasia, so yeah it may make more sense to do the former just in terms of practicality.(edited)
Given the aphantasia though, it makes sense to link them with your perspective. Unless you want to try and use them as a lever for unlocking some visualization?
10:55 PM
I don't know how valid a way that is.
10:56 PM
Again I'd direct you probably towards mind's eye places to see if someone can better tutor you on that kind of thing if you genuinely want your tulpa and you to have a visualized space.
