A.6.3.NAR:4.2.1 - Direct and architecture-mediated routes

In the direct route, the exact source episteme states or designates the source situation, event structure, proof dependencies, canon claims, or source-pack claims that n orders. Viewpoint discipline may help, but X, Y, and n remain the central objects.

In the architecture-mediated route, one exact architecture-description, architecture-view, decision, candidate-structure, or telemetry episteme participates as X or as an explicitly named additional source episteme. Independently recover any selected A.22 structures, world-side holons, decisions, relations, or telemetry occurrences that its claims designate. The return chain is Y to exact source episteme(s), then through their exact designation relations to exact structures or occurrences when those are current. Keep every selection, coarsening, abstraction, omission, ordering, and correspondence explicit by using the applicable C.32.*, C.33, C.34, architecture-description, or decision test. NAR defines only n’s source-to-narrative construction, preservation, loss, and return boundary.

In either route, the temporal posture matters. A historical reconstruction, live commentary, prospective project narrative, and fictional continuation can all be narrative epistemes, but they have different source claims, evidence and uncertainty boundaries, order, and return conditions. A system may perform narrative-construction Work; recover its identity only when actual production history matters.
