Research architecture

Enclave

Enclave is a theoretical architecture for reactive, persistent narrative systems. It is designed to preserve human authorship while allowing actors and authored worlds to respond to participant actions that were not explicitly enumerated in advance.

The architecture separates authorial intent, authoritative world state, actor memory and cognition, provenance and communication, event validation, reactive actors, and probabilistic inference. Models may interpret, retrieve, judge, and propose; they do not independently define narrative reality.

Authors create the narrative. Actors disrupt it. Events make those disruptions consequential. The system makes the authored world capable of responding.

Enclave is active architectural research. It is not presented as an implementation specification or production-ready system.

Working paper outline

The current research outline covers the human-authorship requirement, the branching/state-space problem, the agency–persistence gap, reactive authored narrative sandboxes, information flow, actor-local knowledge, event validation, persistence, bounded probabilistic interpretation, and computational scaling.
