Cephaconscious

Refers to a system, or sisasystem, that has fluid, monoconscious-like switching, but members of the system who are not in front have their own, separate consciousness in headspace/are polyconscious in headspace.

(for us specifically it is due to having a shell)

Experiences a cephaconscious system may have are:

having one distinct consciousness for fronting, that whoever is in front "steps into", while system members who are not currently fronting have their own consciousness separate from the body
switching feels like "becoming" someone else, as described in monoconscious systems.
in the headspace, each system member feels as though they have a distinct, separate consciousness of their own.
system members are polyconscious in the headspace (when not fronting.)
accessing the headspace from the front can be difficult without an excessive amount of concentration.

The term stems from the word cephalopod. Cepholopods represent the idea of having one fronting-consciousness (represented by the head) and being polyconscious in headspace (represented by the tentacles).
