the N.I.C.E project
Narrative and Stories
a narrative context but not a complete narrative structure:
the story form is used as
a communicative medium, for motivation.
the stories take the forms of multiple threads:
there are many stories going on
at the same time, just like real life.
the various multiple stories may be persistent:
have a life beyond the short
term interaction with the world and continue to evolve.
characters are necessary for the formation of the stories:
the
interaction between the characters and the environment guides the plot
structures of the narratives.
