A.6.3.NAR:3 - Forces

ForceTension
Selected source structure vs human sequenceA reader often needs an ordered path, while the selected source structure may be a graph, mechanism, option set, architecture, or evidence field rather than a line.
Engagement vs truth boundaryTension, viewpoint, protagonist, and pacing can help attention, but they do not widen truth, evidence, authority, ethical permission, or admissible downstream use.
Compression vs recoverabilityA narrative foregrounds some structure and leaves other structure behind. The useful loss must be visible.
Event comprehension vs non-event structureSome selected source structures involve events and actions; others involve dependencies, constraints, alternatives, or architectures. The pattern must support both without forcing a fiction model.
Domain richness vs Core economyNarratology, storycraft, cognitive narrative research, science communication, NLG, and teaching practice are rich, but most of their vocabulary belongs in domain narrative source packs or local and domain frameworks rather than FPF Core.
