System Travel is not a new concept (apparently)
Historyeditedit source
The term "system travel" in this regard has been around since as early as 2003, on a now-lost multiplicity site. "It said that sometimes it's possible to visit other people s inner worlds. When someone who isn't multiple visits, it has to be during sleep or a trance-like state because no one is there to take over and control the body."[2] Dark Personalities had an unlinked heading for "Intersystem Travel" in 2001, which may have been system travel.[3]
The multiplicity LiveJournal community first used the "traveling & visiting" tag in 2002, when a user asked about souls communicating outside of the system without using the body.[4] One comment talks about a walk-in who left his host's body and entered a different body on a permanent basis.[5] One 2005 post says that a soulbond "hopped, skipped, and jumped" between a series of bodies.[6]
"Body hop" first appears in conversation in 2005.[7] One reply uses "system hopping."[8]
The modern plural community's concept of "system hopping" may have been introduced in 2015 and was quickly controversial.[9] One RAMCOA survivor has claimed the term came from them and was not meant to be used broadly, only in a description of their personal experiences.[10] A well-known syscourse account has recently said she found spiritual uses from 2015.[10] The Lunastus Collective claim that the term system hopping was in use around 2007, defining it as "one system in one body, traveling either permanently or temporarily to a different system in a different body." They say they first saw it in soulbonding and fictionkin spaces and that it came up on a regular basis.[11]
