I don’t have much time so I shall be quick.

11/30 pages analysed

and I’ve restructured the whole system

Story └── Plot └── Arc └── Sequence └── Scene └── Event └── Beat └── Moment

I’m mostly working on the BEAT level

4 different types of beats I’m differentiating

Symbols NAME Abbreviation (W.I.P.)
ABC Complete Beat CB
?BC Unfounded Beat UFB
A?C Unprovoked Beat UPB
AB? Unanswered Beat UAB
↑BC Connected Complete Beat CCB
↑?C Connected Unprovoked Beat CUPB
↑B? Connected Unanswered Beat CUAB

I’ve also differentiated 3 different types of scenes

Symbols NAME Abbreviation (W.I.P.)
123 Complete Event Scene CES
1x23 Unadressed Event Scene UAES
12x3 Unconfronted Event Scene UCES

Some food for brain

Story (Everything in total) └── Plot (??????) └── Arc (??????) └── Sequence (Multiple 123s) └── Scene (123) └── Event (Multiple ABCs) └── Beat (ABC) └── Moment (Irreducible)

I still haven’t figures out how to systematise Arcs

Not sure if it would even be helpful

could any differentiation other than GOOD and BAD story arch even be made?

or are they too MARCO to be meaningfully categorised
