About Narrativization and Narrative Studies Principles Framework
This Domain Principle Framework helps authors, teachers, technical communicators, researchers and assisting agents construct and improve narratives from connected material. The material may concern observed events, mathematical relations, a proposed design, an unfolding event or a fictional world. A reader needs to recover selected relations in an order they can follow and use.

About Using FPF and its DPF Suites
This is the common working instruction for people and AI agents using FPF or its DPFs, including work that develops or reviews the frameworks themselves. Apply it whenever the work relies on their methods, not only when processing an intake. Paths below are relative to the folder containing this file.

Engineering DPF Suite/ENGINEERING-DPF-SUITE-REFERENCE.md· GitHub source - Checklist Principles FrameworkDPF · CHK
About Checklist Principles Framework
Skilled work can fail through a small omission, a forgotten conversation or an answer that outlives its grounds. More documentation can make that worse when it hides the question, interrupts useful work or rewards reassuring entries. Checklist practice concerns the design and use of a limited attention aid within that wider work.

About Community Building Principles Framework
Community Building concerns the deliberate creation, support and renewal of useful participation, relationships and shared ways of working. Its wider cultural purpose can also be served by people who learn and use a practice independently. A population of carriers of a practice need not communicate, identify with a community or act as one decision-making body.
