A Moment with Andrea: Multihead logic
12 years ago
General
So everyone has seen different versions of multiheaded beasts. Cerberus and many other things.
But Im curious how does that work? Do they both have the same mind or are they separate? do they share the same personality or have different ones, or is it one mind shared by different personality's? Is it one soul or one for each head? Does that mean each mind warrants its own soul? Do they share intellect? Pain? sensations? or perhaps emotions? That also begs to wonder do they share memories or can they have independent opinions? Can they dislike each other? i mean wouldnt that be weird? sisters hating each other cause the other did her boyfriend or something?
Would their IQ's be the same, combined? I mean this raises a lot of interesting questions.

For example, there is a REAL case of a two headed woman. Each head is a fully thinking person, though she only has control and sensation on the side her head is on.
But as a rule, in fantasy, the heads share a sort of telepathic bond and a type of hive mind, so if one head points something out, the other heads are aware of it.
