Structure

Author-Owned Story Model

The writer defines the characters, arcs, plot threads, story engines, and metric lenses.

What it does

The project treats story definitions and metric definitions as first-class notes. A scene points to the relevant objects, and the evaluator reads only the definitions needed for the current measurement.

Why it matters

The AI is used as a measuring instrument, not as the owner of the manuscript's structure. The writer decides what exists and what matters.

  • Characters, plot threads, arcs, and engines can be edited directly.
  • Metric definitions can be configured for the story's needs.
  • Prompt context can stay narrow because scene metadata declares what belongs in scope.
  • Scene metadata becomes a bridge between prose and analysis.
