Musings upon multiplicity
Last night, I wrote to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
netdancer, who I know from alt.callahans, asking about resources for multiplicity that didn't pathologize.
I got a few website links.
So I've been reading them.
I could almost have written this. Well, aside from the pronouns. I even have a period in my memory that is definitely "identity amnesia". And my thoughts associating with that make me wonder if some of my internal plurality was in response to those events, though I suspect I'm at least partially a "born that way" sort.
And this also has a strong familiarity for me. (Remember I was talking about multitasking the other day, Brooks-love?)
It seems to me that a lot of systems have personalities divided up on age-bands in some way; I wonder how common it is for the divisions to fall more along purpose than age.
I also find it interesting to note that I have four aspects whose significant roles include processing anger. (Rage and other "red" emotions, moral wrongness, self-hatred, and cold poison.) (I have three that process religious stuff as a prime role, two that are 'fronts' for dealing with the outside, two that do intimacy, two that do music . . . these are overlapping sets, incidentally. The "moral wrongness" anger-processor is one of the religious processors, f'rex.)
Noodle, noodle.

Re: On wiggles....
There was a small bug in the code -- it's got a bunch of different grids, and it solves things on the different ones using the same routines, so it needs to transfer the grid information from the storage bits to the current-grid bits. And there was a flaw in this process -- it was transferring one bit of grid-information into the wrong place, and making everything go all messy.

All better now? Or at least mostly better?
Re: On wiggles....
As for the wiggles -- they seem a bit better; I'm going through the usual slow process of activating just a wee bit more of the code at a time, so all I know is that they wiggles shrink if I run things cautiously and have the program make small steps (it works by calculating stuff for one point in virtual time, stepping ahead to a later point and recalculating, and so forth; it works most reliably, like almost all such things, when it takes very small steps).
The wiggles don't shrink if I take as large steps as I'd like, though, and I think that means I forgot something somewhere; I'm tracking that down while I eat.
