The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.
This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples
Using the pattern
The prime design questions regarding the use of Contextualization is when the Scenes the contextualize should be initialized.
Narrative Aspects
Contextualization is a Narration Pattern.
Consequences
Contextualization is a Meta-Technique using whole Scenes as its format, thereby both creating Scenes and modifying existing ones. It can easily break Temporal Consistency by having the Scenes take place in the past or future of what is "currently" happening in a game instance.
The use of the pattern modifies players possibility of Enactment in that they can portray Characters at other times or even other Characters that are relevant to the narration.
