Narratives
Definition
Narratives are the stories we construct to explain reality. They are meaning wrapped in emotion, identity, and memory.
Dynamics
Narratives shape perception more than facts do. They are the interface between Signal and Identity.
A realm where truth competes with belief, and perception bends toward coherence.
Examples
- Bias
- memory drift
- emotional anchoring
- Mythmaking — stories that distort rather than illuminate
