Sure co-conscience means that the alters are aware of other alters, but how does that really work and play out in the mind?
Using myself as an example, I feel like I'm a floating conscience under direct influence of the up front personality. My thoughts are their thoughts, I'm them, they're me. It's like one stream of sequential thought with many different colors and views and different paths are opened. We are connected telepathically? We all watch and jump in as if on cue as required? I don't know who or what this "conscience" is because it has so many different voices.
If I wasn't aware, I can see where we'd be different. Central self? I don't know what that is. We can spin off in any different direction, whoever wants to take the lead and the rest of us following in elected support. We just live for the moment.
There isn't any missing time, maybe 5% of the time. Just shattered memories.
I wish I was just psychotic. So much easier.
