Fractals and Plot Points

theory
#1

Given that the Dramatica grid is a fractal, any quad at any level contains an Activity square in the upper right corner, a Situation square in the upper left corner, a Manipulation square in the bottom left corner, and a Fixed Attitude square in the bottom right corner.

That means that any plot point which is a quad is composed of four squares, one in each corner, representing Activity in the upper left, Situation in the upper right, etc.

For example, if Goal were Gathering Information, it would be composed of Prerequisties == Situation, Strategy == Activity, Analysis == Manipulation, and Preconditions == Fixed Attitude.

Given, also, know that each of those corners of the grid represents a different through line. Situation might represent MC, Activity might represent OS, etc.

Can we conclude that, if Prerequisites (within Gathering Information) == Situation and Situation == MC Throughline, then Prerequisites == MC Throughline?

So, if Goal were Gathering Information and Situation represents MC, and Activity represents OS, then can Goal == Gathering Information be seen as
Prerequisites == Situation == MC,
Strategy == Activity == OS,
Analysis == Manipulation == RS, and
Preconditions == Fixed Attitude == IC?

Does this mean, then,

(if the MC Throughline == Situation) that the Goal ==Gathering Information is manifested (within the MC Throughline) in Prerequisites

Yes and now. Though each quad is based on the TKAD relationship, the orientation and “purity” of each quad differs as you traverse through the structure, just as you would as you move further and further away from the inequity in the justification process. The element level are the least ‘pure’ TKAD, especially as far as the labels go, but also when you take them in the context of its vertical and horizontal position in the structure matrix.

I don’t think you can extrapolate any truisms by assigning structural items to story points beyond the relationships as they are in a storyform.
