Forcidawn

Forcidawn refers to when a sidesystem or structure other than the whole system itself is intentionally created forcibly by external parties via trauma.

Another way of looking at this is that it is a shaped sidesystem/subsystem/etc., or a sidesystem created through shaping.

Sidesystems created through programming are forcidawn. However, so is a subsystem that came to exist in a headmate because an abuser told them that they had a subsystem when they didn't really, even if that experience did not involve programming.
