poly-fragmented vs. "traditional" DID

[MakersDozn]

This is a great thread. FWIW, our intent is never to invalidate, and we hope that we don't come across that way. What we do mean is in fact the opposite--that no matter how large or small, each system's experience is valid.

We agree with nats' point. While most of the larger, more complex systems that we've met do indeed have a red-dot background, this doesn't mean that all such systems do.

It makes sense that large systems would have a significant number of fragments and/or groups. Is there any information available on the average proportion of fragments to more fully-developed insiders in such systems? What do each of you think is the ratio in your own system, if you don't mind saying?
