I don't think so. To me executive control just means "sole" control (at any given time). To me it means there isn't co-presence of alters. We have alters that take (what I call) executive control both with and without amnesia. Like work alters are often in executive control where there isn't a EP or emotional part alter around at the same time, and no connection or thought of trauma related stuff in the moment. They are just there on their own getting on with the job.
Of course there are also times for us when an EP is triggered and is in executive control of th body without the support of more-grounded others. Sometimes there is amnesia and sometimes there is not. But the one at the front is in sole control at that time.
