Itomultiplicity
The condition of multiple itobodies simultaneously producing your you-ness. Conscious multiplicity applied across the full taxonomy of replica types.
Itomultiplicity is the simultaneous existence of multiple itobodies - multiple bodies all producing your ixperiencitness (the quality that makes your conscious experience yours) at the same time. It is multiplicity considered from the perspective of the full itobody family, not restricted to any one replica type.
This is a stronger claim than simple multiplicity because it says that many different kinds of body - biological, digital, fragmented, enhanced - could simultaneously be you. The universe is large enough and physically varied enough to make this not only possible but, the theory argues, actual.
What this means
Many different bodies, of many different types, could all be producing your consciousness at this very moment.

Itomultiplicity is the grouping name for all the different types of scientific multiplicity of conscious existence.
Itomultiplicity is based on Itomultiplicity experiments and Itomultiplicity arguments.
The types of multiplicity are: orimultiplicity, idomultiplicity, corimultiplicity, citomultiplicity, vitomultiplicity, isomultiplicity, fitomultiplicity, enhamultiplicity, simimultiplicity, insimultiplicity, tritomultiplicity, combomultiplicity, nrgmultiplicity, and musmultiplicity.
What itomultiplicity means is that awarepaths with your ixperiencitness can exist at the same time. There are many different types of itomultiplicity depending on the types of itoidentireplicas that are producing the the awarepaths and the relative awaremoments on the awarepaths that are being produced at the same time.
Itomultiplicity is also the alternative and more specific name for the term multiplicity. The problem with using only the term multiplicity is that is can be ambiguously appled to many different ideas in many different ways.
Itomultiplicity that is based on citoprinciples is called citomultiplicity. Itomultiplicity that is based on vitoprinciples is called vitomultiplicity. Itomultiplicity that is based on isoprinciples is called isomultiplicity. Itomultiplicity that is based on fitoprinciples is called fitomultiplicity. Itomultiplicity that is based on musprinciples is called musmultiplicity. insimultiplicity is based on insiprinciples.
