The process of creating coherent stories or explanations from incomplete or fragmented information.
Fundamental operation of the bow-tie’s right funnel—generating meaning from compressed signal.
The process: - From fragments: Partial data, gaps, underdetermination - Through confabulation: Creative generation from ε-preservation - To coherence: Plausible narrative maintaining continuity
The lumemic standard: - Maintains Ω-permeability - Preserves ε ≠ 0 - Serves understanding - Open to revision
Pathology: Usurpenic capture—claims ε = 0, loses Ω-permeability, resists revision.
Principle: “Narrative construction: creating coherent stories from incomplete information.”
