Can you have a system that is both OSDD 1a and 1b? I'll try to explain

I am a bit confused by your answer.

A subsystem is a "system within a system", usually a group of alters (or multiple groups) that are set apart from the "main system", usually through stronger dissociative barriers. They members tend to be connected through a shared characteristic, for example, that they all hold memories of a certain trauma or time period etc. This form of complex dissociation is usually found in polyfragmented DID systems. I don't know of any statistics on polyfragmentation in OSDD-1 but it is rather unlikely for an OSDD system to have subsystems or to be polyfragmented. According to the Theory of Structural Dissociation, OSDD-1 is a form of Secondary Structural Dissociation, while DID is a form of Tertiary Structural Dissociation. Polyfragmentation and complex organisation within a system (including the existence of subsystems) requires a very high level of Structural Dissociation that is even uncommon within DID, hence polyfragmented systems being pretty rare. Therefore it is very unlikely that a system with those characteristics doesn't otherwise meet the criteria for DID. I'm not saying it's not at all possible but it definitely goes against the theory behind DID/OSDD-1.

I also don't really understand what you mean by a "subsystem comprising the entire system". If the subsystem is the entire system, what is it a SUBsystem of?

do you have names for your parts/alters and if so, how did you find out? So I guess we really do exist Is it normal to hear the conversations of "other people" in your head when you're trying to fall asleep? it feels like they're trying to keep something from me.
