The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub. Until then, Predetermined Story Structures provides many aspects relevant to Narration Structures in general.


NOTE: Many of the patterns linking to this should be re-linked to Predetermined Story Structures.

Examples

Records of game instances of Chess can be seen as Narration Structures but this may be even more apparent when the chess pieces are presented as characters. "Through the Looking-Glass"[1] by Lewis Carroll is an example of this although some artistic freedom is taken in the alternation of players moving. Another example is that Samuel Beckett includes an annotated Chess record in the novel "Murphy"[2], and "Reunion"[3] (a project by among others John Cage and Marcel Duchamp) used the structures emerging from Chess game instances to create music.
