FRAMEWORK
Story Coordinate Compass
Coordinate System
I
Orientation
What the coordinate system does, how to navigate, relationship to supporting documents
II
Horizontal Axis
Story timeline position — clock positions, act structures, beat markers, symmetry points
IIA
Story Structure
Detailed structural frameworks — Save the Cat, Hero's Journey, story grid integration
III
Vertical Axis
Story depth dimensions — surface to core, 6 dimension layers of narrative analysis
IV
Intersection Logic
How horizontal and vertical axes combine — coordinate reading, pattern recognition
V
Navigation Protocols
Movement patterns through the coordinate space — drilling, zooming, diagonal tracking
VI
Practical Application
Real-world usage — analysis workflows, writing applications, teaching frameworks
VII
Implementation Guide
Technical implementation — building tools, digital integration, scaling the system
