true model of plurality

many people understand this model as , experiences always either plural or singlet . this give many confusion about where to fit , so people come up with all sort of questions and metrics to figure out - did someone talk back ? did someone take over ? so on and so forth .
but these can just confuse things even more for some people ... because that model is flaw to start with .
plurality is not all or nothing , and not even just single , median , multiple trinary . this is wide array of experiences ! to try define as and figure out if someone in head is " real " is kind of silly and backwards , because to even need question means most probably real already .
but real is not always wholly separate , not always something that can pull apart from core of self .
- some plurals can be like little daisy , petals flower out from core - distinction yet important connection .
- some can be puddle , where raindrops merge in - and make questions of which one is which near impossible for outsiders to understand , just know in heart .
- some can be whole forest , with roots that communicate and canopies that overlap - yet each one shoot up high individually , with all of different gnarls and twigs and patterns this imply .
- some can be moon , fluid , shift , sometimes one and sometimes another - not necessary that all coexist together , but in some way , each do exist .
- and there can be infinitely more experiences of personhood to peoplehood spectrum . leaves , grasses , clouds , rain or snow , eclipse …
might realise , some of these experiences ambiguous . and that is very true , not always clear line for if plural or singlet .
that is beauty here : if plurality help to understand this experience , then have right to explore as plurality .
look for names if want , do not if do not want ... explain as much or as little to others as feel need . allow freedom to write as will , be as will , and see what happen - even if that answer ultimately is " not very much " .
what is singlet experience to one , can be plural experience to another . this is not bad ! singlet and plural really just words to try and explain experiences - these words do not have hold on whether or not experiences real .
so please ! please go on and explore !
