In-Depth Information
The most fundamental mesh would consists of three concepts, with every concept
drawing its meaning based on its relationship to the other two. With all three
exhibiting this relationship, this is said to achieve coherence within the CT theory.
Coherence in this case meaning a participant can begin with any concept in the mesh
and shift procedurally through the relationships in any arbitrary direction while
developing an understanding of the assembled themes. This freedom to shift within
an assembled concept network provides numerous entry points or cyclicity, such that
there are no 'dead ends' in the entailment structure. When entailment networks are
scaled or merged through collaborative action this provides the flexibility in the
narrative structure and allows each participant to formulate their own point of view
while developing a mental model that others may share based on their own actions
within the network.

Interface Metaphors for Emergent Conversation
Emergent play experiences can directly benefit from collaborative experiences and the
development of schemes for co-creation of artifacts within the fictional world that
build community and social development.
For online play experiences the boundaries of context in the fictional space are
embedded in the metaphors of the interface. This extends the conversational process
and shows aspects of intention surrounding the collective narrative construction [34].

Fitness measurement
Interface metaphors can support narrative comprehension and fictional world
coherence through reflecting actions that are recognisable by other players and
through revealing features of the system's inner processes.
Each player begins the experience by opening a 'ring' space and inputting a
keyword that performs an internet search request. Retrieved video content circles the
ring along with an associated annotated word tag. Salient or 'fit' tags (Fig 3.) are
placed inside the ring and associated video content plays out within the ringed space
in a sequence.
Tags that are outside the ring may be selected and dragged inside forming new
sequences. The ring exhibits a physics model that responds to gestural movement,
that may be expanded or reduced to narrow the amount of sequenced content.
