I do understand the structural dissociation theory, and it very well applies to our fragmentation...an Other part to perform an "at that moment" task, job, function.

By the degree at which we are fragmented, my best say would be a physical abnormality in the brain because we are very, very prone to dissociation while living a horrendous first 18 years of cruelty and abuse.

So far we've written 3 posts by 3 different Others (I being the third) just now, with each a different approach, level of understanding, and p.o.v..

Of course we are of the co-conscience variety, but by our own individuality, we experience extreme memory problems (which is time lost)- but not complete separation of conscience.

We have just enough to function. It would be interesting to know the why between total amnesia versus the blended variety. And of course, no two co-conscienceness is ever quite the same, each different in level and experience.
