Median

A median system is a system with members who are not inherently independent from each other, or fully separate. A median system exists in the grey are between being fully partitionary and a singlet.

Sometimes median systems are dependent on a single individual and unable to exist without the central person. The lack of independence can be mutual in that there is no central individual. They often consists of members who all identify as "aspects" or "facets" of one central identity, which may be a single member or may be a sort of average identity of the system.

Sometimes a median system can consist of members who are not distinctly separated from one another, and they cannot tell where one member begins or ends.
