Abstract
1. We show that if p is a real type which is internal in a set $\sigma$ of partial types in a simple theory, then there is a type p' interbounded with p, which is finitely generated over $\sigma$ , and possesses a fundamental system of solutions relative to $\sigma$ . 2. If p is a possibly hyperimaginary Lascar strong type, almost \sigma-internal$ , but almost orthogonal to $\sigma^{\omega}$ , then there is a canonical non-trivial almost hyperdefinable polygroup which multi-acts on p while fixing $\sigma$ generically. In case p is $\sigma-internal$ and T is stable, this is the binding group of p over \sigma$
