Hm. Talking with geeks is fun. (New thoughts about multiples)
Have uncovered that my viewpoint on multiples and such is that the body possesses all attributes, at least in potential, but that the personalities have the capability of accessing, or not, these capabilities.
For example, we can paint. We have the body's knowledge of what a paintbrush is, access to vision, access to motion of body, and ability to do fine motor control. Anyone using the body who can do fine motor control has the *ability* to pick up the paintbrush and do things with it. Anyone who can access the knowledge of what brushstrokes do what, and what this color looks like on top of that color, and how to make shapes from color on paper is able to paint with this body.
Coping with funky emotional stuff is also a learned skill using body properties & methods. Stop train of thought is a body method. Look at from another angle is a higher-level function, but it's still pretty basic, and it can be, I am sure, broken down into calls to body functions. And with enough practice, the mental experience will become physical memory, and then will become potentially accessible to all.
I don't think I've lost any physical memories of anything with the changing of my personalities. The physical memories are still there in my brain. It's just, with the shuffling-around, that the easy paths to the memories are no longer easy to access.
I build myself, skill upon skill, using the libraries that were there before, using the created libraries, making my own. When Mona became inactive, all the things she used to do were still there, in inactive memory, but where we could use them if we willed. When Shanna became inactive, I wound up taking over that internal-message-sick-mind thing. It's still marked as her function; it feels really weird to look at her past memories and say "I", even though I'm her logical descendant. The personality tags that made her her, I have many of, so it's me that comes up in active personalities when searching on her, but I'm not her.

My bad. My brain read that as "New thoughts about multipass" and I heard Lelu in my head. ::giggle::
Now I want to go around randomly saying Multipass! all day, and see how many people look confused.
I really don't have the hair for it, though.

Nope. Too long, and too dark.
