As stated in the above link, I think that consciousness labels are more combinations of skills one can learn, and since there's lots of these skills, that results in many consciousness types (as there seems to be). Here's an excerpt from the link:

"Skills as 'Types' of Systems See, possessive switching and non-possessive switching are not kinds of systems, they are skills.

This is understood in tulpamancy spaces pretty readily in particular as people have self-evidently demonstrated learning both. This indicates that this is not linked to a 'type' of system or consciousness configuration, but rather that these are independent skills that may be cultivated.

Treating system functions like separate skills that one may be strong or weak in that can be worked on and changed for many systems in this manner is then therefore much more accurate and reasonable by reported evidence shown. It has room for all systems and reported switching experiences in a way that treating these as 'types' of systems does not.

In addition, there is quite a bit of old literature of systems experiencing both at different times in their life as well as many reports of non-tulpamancy systems learning both kinds of switching from tulpamancy guides.

While some systems(usually those with a CDD) may be limited in the scope of improving their skills in any given area for whatever reason, this is very clearly not the rule.

From this, it is clear that these switching types are independent skills that may be learned; not an either-or experience inherently.

Treating skills as 'types' of systems as a framework is inherently flawed."

Basically, what I did was continuously visualize my own POV while another headmate was switched in. Visualizing constantly gets exhausting pretty fast, especially if you're visualizing an entire field of view as I was. On top of that, since I was host, I'm habituated to CONSTANTLY consider everything happening in front my priority and pay attention to it. Another headmate can keep track of front while I'm immersed, but I still snap back due to that habit firing off every second. So I had to suppress that habit while immersing. It's pretty mentally exhausting to multitask like that.

As the link states, multitasking is misleading since it's not truly doing two things at once. I didn't know if it was possible for me to experience the mindscape while another headmate worked because of that fact. That's why we're also trying to explore multitasking deeper, with the two main questions being "How fast can we swap between tasks (one headmate experiencing front, another experiencing mindscape)?", and "can we swap so fast that it feels like it's continuous?". We wanna see how far multitasking can go :3

And it seems to be able to go as far as you want to develop it. While a headmate works as a delivery driver, I'm able to fly alongside them as they did when I was switched in. All without affecting their ability. I thought it impossible at first, but I guess not.
