We as a system experience multiple layers with their own headspaces and mini-layers and such, but there are also other 'places'! I'm the only member with any ability to affect it but most people can sorta...peek into it at times?
Those are the Mindspace, and the Thoughtspace, both controlling their own two 'elements' that are vital for our survival! Thoughtstuff, and MindStuff!
Since Jack asked, I'll oh so kindly explain it all to you. But don't bother asking me for anything. I already know how to do my job by myself thank you very much. I've been doing it all this time with you all ignoring me. I won't be helping you win some stupid political thing, I'm concerned with actual important matters. (Does it hurt to be on the other side of this conversation?) Nothing you say will affect how I do things, so sit down and shut up. If you can't, I really don't care either.

The Thoughtspace and ThoughtStuff
So, the Thoughtspace is mainly three different 'parts', The Crossroads, The Dump, and the BackDoor! All of this tends just to be in a void though, black everywhere. Most walls are also void, but there's a lot of 'grey metal' (not really but close enough), so if you aren't used to it I assume you could get lost easily here. All of these are full of ThoughtStuff, which I'll explain quickly.
ThoughtStuff is the...thoughts! It's what makes up all thoughts or thinking. ThoughtSpeak though is kinda separate? Like how a ball is yellow, but yellow is not the ball. You need the yellow ball to have the yellow, but you don't need the yellow ball to have a ball. Connected yes, but not...really? ThoughtSpeak is a use of ThoughtStuff's passive characteristics, so it doesn't use any of it and needs it to exist, but could probably be removed (after creation) and just bounce around by itself. Well ThoughtStuff is solid lil balls and bricks of Stuff, ThoughtSpeak is faintly colored...sound waves? That bounce around above them.
Anyways, all thoughts and stuff are made out of Thoughtstuff! ThoughtStuff can spark thoughts and also be created by members of the system existing or interacting. If I went and picked up a piece and 'passed it' to someone, I could 'feed' them a random fragment of a thought. Obviously that can go wrong. If Thoughtstuff goes to the wrong place, it can be really really bad! We've been learning how to handle the stuff since Circle's first Servitors to handle intrusive thoughts-stray ThoughtStuff. It's not all bad though, it just needs to be used responsibly so information goes where it needs to go. Some members, like PostContent, exist to make ThoughtStuff really! And it's one of the two elements that 'make' a person. Sometimes I end up helping a fragment develop with some choice pieces, or smooth a integration. The Thoughtspace sorts and sends it all around, but it doesn't fully function on its own.
My job with ThoughtStuff is to move it around and destroy unneeded or bad bits! I'm unaffected by it, so I can 'eat' it easily. I'm really only made up of like, three parts of ThoughtStuff, so I would be a fragment normally, but I'm fully whole like this! No parts for ThoughtStuff to attach properly, which lets me do my job.
There are different kinds of it too, Emotional, Knowledge,Conceptual, Conversational, Memories...ect ect.
So, back to the Thoughtspace now you know what it does!
The Crossroads are a bunch of conveyor belts. I nicknamed it after the first glimpse of the headspace Circle recorded. It mostly functions on its own, occasionally I add or remove things.
The Dump is where all random ThoughtStuff goes! It falls from the belts above into a big ol pile, where I can do whatever I want. A lot gets rejected, some saved for people, others saved because they hold important stuff.
The BackDoor is similar to the Dreamscapes' BackRoom, But it's a lot more..useless here? I think it was repeated for a reason though, but I'm honestly not sure. The fact that that theme shows up in all three of these places makes me think it has something important though.
Anyways all it does is sometimes collect random bits and pieces of Thoughtstuff.
Now, onto the next!

The Mindspace and MindStuff!
Well ThoughtStuff is colorful shapes, MindStuff is a blue slimey goo! It can be different consistencies. I haven't explored the Mindspace nearly as much because it requires way less maintenance.
Essentially it's a big fountain with a weird thing dripping MindStuff down into it. Yeah, that thing you thought was the 'core'? You might still be right on that one, I don't know or care, but well it is important and as vital as a hypothetical core, it certainly isn't its own person.
MindStuff is energy. Without it, ThoughtStuff is essentially useless and none of us would be here. Even a singlet us wouldn't be alive, you NEED at least some MindStuff to have a mental self at all. It is the lifeblood of all mental things.
If it is a core, then whatever or whoever it was turned into this because we needed to be plural, and thus needed more MindStuff. I don't think it has a end. It's how we have survived for so long. Or maybe we were born with it?
I'm a lot more careful with MindStuff, because distributing it is way more important dosage wise. I eat the rest because it doesn't really affect me. I have no real complex functions. Perks to being a literal concept rather than a person I guess!

So yeah! Those are the Two Things in common with all of us. Our 'matter'. Our particle physics. Guess I really do matter, huh?
Oh don't worry though. I've been doing my job with you treating me badly forever. I won't stop now. I'm better than that, then you. Isn't that funny?
Jack wants to clear out some of my cache from the dump and flesh out some fragments or create some new people entirely. Maybe? Hypothetically if I have enough ThoughtStuff and dump it in some MindStuff, it should make it's own person...
Hey, it'll be a fun experiment though, right?
-Scatter!!
