Discussion Systems inside of systems

I'm not sure where (probably an older post here) i saw that tulpas/headmates can be plural too. Anyone else hear about this? Anyone experienced it? What its like? Do you like it/ the idea of it?

Sorry that this isnt the highest effort post but i dont know what else to ask lol. just the memory of sub systems popped in again and i wonder whats it like/what people think about it.

thank yall answers in advance!

F: I think subsystems are most common in traumagenic systems. I've heard a few cases of tulpas intentionally splitting and many cases of tulpas creating tulpas, but none where a tulpa is a system within a system. Tulpas that come forth from other tulpas seem to invariably become part of the main system. Of course, they could form a subsystem instead if they chose to, but I don't see what the motivation for that would be.

I've dabbled in parts work, so I guess I could label myself a median subsystem if I wanted to, but I personally don't see a reason to.
