I am working my way through the Dramatica Dictionary trying to brush up on my terms when I started thinking about Domains and Classes. Originally I had assumed that they were the same thing - just synonyms. But after reading the various definitions I am pretty sure that they are talking about two different things.
From my new understanding, am I correct in stating that a Domain only exists when a Throughline
is allocated to a Class
?
For example, we allocated the OS Throughline to the Class of Situation it then becomes its own Domain?
If so, how should we use this term if we want to be accurate?
Should we talk about the “OS Domain of Situation”? or if the OS Throughline has yet been assigned to a Class we would discuss "Where do you think the “OS Domain is?” which is synonymous with saying “Which Class do you think the OS Throughline resides?”
So we should never really talk about the Situation Domain, unless it already incorporates a throughline?
I am thinking about this the right way?
I have been through all the dictionaries (web, software and Dramatica Dictionary) and this is the best I could come up with. It seems as though I may have been using the term inaccurately for some time now. (Main Character Problem: Non-Accurate)
