What does it mean to be independent?

[Guest]

Oh, I misunderstood your renaming of my catagory "Independent subconsious" to "Independent memories". Sorry about that.

 

To me, it seems that having different triggers is a subset of having different beliefs, values, opinions, priorities, behavioral patterns, and emotional palettes. Triggers may tend to be more dramatic, as when Vesper is backpedaling from fire and sunlight, but I consider her calmly and deliberately eating sushi to be even more divergent from me.

 

I was thinking broadly, but triggers was an example.

 

So I think I understand from what you said, we have under the unbrella of independent subconsious (unconscious) memories, triggers, and tastes. If you think of the word trigger in a broader sense (which isn't obvious from what I originally wrote) then you could consider it to include tastes, emotional engagement, fears, moods, and ticks among others. I know it's kind of a strech, and probably unnecessary to do anyway. Your point was still valid. I find it interesting though, you could also think our subconsious doesn't include those if you only believe in one. Then it's part of us, an underlying flavor of who we are, our behaviors and how we react to stimuli. In that case, if only the body has consiousness (subconscious included) then these traits, would necessarily be stored in the essence that is switched? Or is it like a programming set of hooks that key into existing body traits, traits that are inherent and excesdive, pruned for each fronter? Thus you could prune your own traits be removing hooks. I've effectively trained away ny aversion to certain triggers, and I believe the triggered switching with watcher position would be able to train up anything in you that any systemmate does better. (Handles more appropriately I mean.) Why or how they handle it more appropriately is owed to their independence and lack of your own traumas in normal life, your chips, scuffs, cracks and dents, so to speak, that they don't have and can fix by showing you by their own example how to perform the affected behaviors appropriately.
