A.6.3.NAR:2 - Problem

Projects often need narrative because selected source structures are too tangled for a reader to use directly. A mechanism, architecture, model, evidence set, or event graph may need a beginning, order, tension, action, update point, or learning path before humans can follow it.

Without A.6.3.NAR:

  1. narrative is treated as style polish after the real work is done;
  2. narrative is treated as mere lossy summary even when sequence-making is the main representational move;
  3. selected structure, ordering decisions, event models, and lost relations disappear behind fluent prose;
  4. engagement is allowed to raise confidence, authority, ethical permission, or policy force without the current evidence relation, assurance result, ethical basis, or policy basis required for that stronger claim;
  5. generated narrative output is trusted because it is coherent or dramatic;
  6. exact identity and assurance fields are demanded before an ordinary reader-useful narrative exists, making the pattern needlessly hard to enter.
