Is mental relativity a scientific theory - ktad and e=mc2

I’ve been watching lots of videos and reading articles by Melanie Anne Philips.

I’m intrigued by applying dramatica to real world problems and diverse forms of communication.

I wanted to be sure if I can tell people that mental relativity or dramatica is a scientific theory as much as a literary theory.

We’ve talked about this previously. I’m surprised this thread in particular didn’t pop up as a similar idea when you made this post. Long story short: Dramatica is a cool model, but I don’t think it’s “scientifically rigorous” or what have you.

Dramatica and Science

What I'm about to say I mean in a respectful tone with intent to have a constructive discussion. To prove a theory, it isn't sufficient to find a place where it works. It isn't even sufficient to find a hundred places where it works. Karl Popper described the characteristics of a scientific theory as follows: 1.) It is easy to obtain confirmations, or verifications, for nearly every theory—if we look for confirmations. 2.) Confirmations should count only if they are the result of risky pr…

Independent of whether it is a theory or a hypothesis or a model or a whatever-you-want-to-call-it, it is our opinion that Dramatica is model of story, while Mental Relativity – on which Dramatica is based – is a model of human problem solving and/or psychology. Dramatica represents an application of Mental Relativity to the narrative process. Though not widely advertised, the application of Mental Relativity using the Dramatica model as applied to real world scenarios is called Thoughtform.
