# AI and Narrative

## 📌 한 줄 통찰 (The Karpathy Summary)
> **LLM 의 long-context + creative generation 이 narrative 의 고전 framework (Hero's journey, 3-act structure) + interactive (player choice) 의 결합 의 가능 하게**. AI Dungeon → Inworld → modern LLM narrative game. **Author 의 replacement X, 매 author 의 toolkit ↑**.

## 📖 구조화된 지식 (Synthesized Content)

### AI 의 narrative 의 role

#### 1. Generative author
- 매 prompt 의 short story / scene / dialogue.
- Genre adherence (fantasy, romance, sci-fi).
- Style transfer (매 author 의 voice mimic).
- 매 chapter 의 outline + draft.

#### 2. Structure analyzer
- 매 thousand book 의 pattern.
- "Hero's Journey" (Campbell) / "Save the Cat" (Snyder) / 3-act / Pixar 22 rules.
- 매 plot 의 structural critique.
- 매 weak point 의 detect.

#### 3. Dynamic storyteller (interactive)
- 매 player choice 의 real-time response.
- Branching narrative.
- NPC 의 dynamic dialogue.
- Persistent world (player action 의 long-term effect).

#### 4. World-building assistant
- Lore generation.
- 매 character 의 backstory.
- 매 location 의 description.
- Naming (character, place).

#### 5. Editor / co-author
- 매 draft 의 critique.
- Continuity check.
- Consistency (매 character 의 voice).
- Pacing analysis.

### Narrative theory 의 reference

#### Hero's Journey (Campbell)
1. Ordinary world.
2. Call to adventure.

## 💻 패턴 (Code + Prompts)

### Beat sheet generator
```python
def generate_beat_sheet(genre, premise):
    prompt = f"""
Generate a 15-beat sheet for a {genre} story.
Premise: {premise}

Use Save the Cat structure:
1. Opening Image
2. Theme Stated
3. Setup (3 character, world)
4. Catalyst (inciting incident)
5. Debate
6. Break into Two
7. B Story
8. Fun and Games
9. Midpoint
10. Bad Guys Close In
11. All Is Lost
12. Dark Night of the Soul
13. Break into Three
14. Finale
15. Final Image

Format: numbered list, 1-2 sentences each.
"""
    return llm.complete(prompt)
```

### NPC dynamic dialogue
```typescript
class NPC {
  personality: string;
  memory: string[] = [];
  relationships: Map<string, number> = new Map();
  
  async respond(playerInput: string, context: GameState): Promise<string> {
    const systemPrompt = `
You are ${this.name}, a ${this.personality} character in ${context.location}.
Your memories: ${this.memory.slice(-10).join('. ')}
Your feeling toward player: ${this.relationships.get('player') ?? 0}/100.

Reply in 1-3 sentences. Stay in character. React to player tone.
    `;
    
    const response = await llm.complete({
      system: systemPrompt,
      user: playerInput,
    });
    
    // Update memory
    this.memory.push(`Player said: ${playerInput}. I replied: ${response}`);
    this.updateRelationship(playerInput, response);
    
    return response;
  }
}
```

### Branching narrative state machine
```ts
interface StoryNode {
  id: string;
  text: string;
  choices: Choice[];
  state_changes: Partial<WorldState>;
}

interface Choice {
  text: string;
  next: string;
  requires?: (state: WorldState) => boolean;
}

class StoryEngine {
  private currentNode: StoryNode;
  private state: WorldState = {};
  
  async advance(choice: Choice) {
    Object.assign(this.state, this.currentNode.state_changes);
    
    // 매 dynamic = LLM 가 choose 미리 정의 X 의 case
    if (choice.dynamic) {
      const next = await this.generateDynamicNode(choice);
      this.currentNode = next;
    } else {
      this.currentNode = this.nodes[choice.next];
    }
  }
  
  async generateDynamicNode(choice: Choice): Promise<StoryNode> {
    const prompt = `
Continue this story.
Current state: ${JSON.stringify(this.state)}
Player chose: ${choice.text}

Generate next scene (200 words) + 3 player choices.
Format: JSON { text, choices: [{ text, next }] }
    `;
    return JSON.parse(await llm.complete(prompt));
  }
}
```

### Long-context consistency (RAG)
```ts
// 매 chapter 의 vector embed
const chapters = await Promise.all(
  chapters.map(async c => ({
    id: c.id,
    summary: await llm.summarize(c.text),
    embedding: await embed(c.summary),
  }))
);

// 매 새 chapter 의 generation 시 relevant 매 retrieval
async function generateNextChapter(prompt: string) {
  const relevant = await vectorSearch(prompt, chapters, k=5);
  const context = relevant.map(c => c.summary).join('\n\n');
  
  return llm.complete({
    system: `Continue the novel. Relevant prior chapters:\n${context}`,
    user: prompt,
  });
}
```

### Character voice consistency
```ts
const characterVoices = {
  alice: {
    style: 'verbose, academic, uses Latin phrases',
    examples: ['Nevertheless, I posit that...', 'Mutatis mutandis, ...'],
  },
  bob: {
    style: 'terse, sarcastic, working-class',
    examples: ['Yeah, sure, whatever.', 'Tell me something I don't know.'],
  },
};

function generateDialogue(character: string, situation: string) {
  const voice = characterVoices[character];
  return llm.complete({
    system: `${character} speaks: ${voice.style}. Examples: ${voice.examples.join(' / ')}`,
    user: `Situation: ${situation}. ${character}'s response:`,
  });
}
```

### Conflict injection
```python
def inject_conflict(scene_description):
    prompt = f"""
Scene: {scene_description}

This scene is too peaceful. Add ONE concrete conflict:
- Internal (character doubt)
- Interpersonal (disagreement)
- External (threat, obstacle)

Rewrite the scene with the conflict integrated naturally.
"""
    return llm.complete(prompt)
```

→ LLM 의 default 의 conflict-avoidance 의 fix.

### Style transfer (author voice)
```python
def write_in_style(content, style_examples):
    prompt = f"""
Style examples (mimic the voice):
{chr(10).join(style_examples)}

Now rewrite this in the same style:
{content}
"""
    return llm.complete(prompt)
```

### Plot hole detector
```python
def detect_plot_holes(synopsis):
    prompt = f"""
Read this story synopsis and identify plot holes / inconsistencies.
{synopsis}

Format: numbered list of issues.
For each: Where? What's the issue? How to fix?
"""
    return llm.complete(prompt)
```

## 🤔 의사결정 기준 (Decision Criteria)

| 작업 | 추천 |
|---|---|
| Game NPC dialogue | Inworld / Convai / custom LLM |
| Novel writing | Sudowrite / NovelCrafter |
| Screenwriting | ChatGPT / Claude (with structure prompt) |
| Branching narrative | State machine + LLM hybrid |
| Long story consistency | RAG + chapter summaries |
| Character voice | Few-shot example + style transfer |
| Worldbuilding | LLM ideation + human curation |

**기본값**: Author 의 brainstorm + draft + edit 의 round-trip. 매 final = human.

## ⚠️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & Updates)
- **AI 의 narrative 의 cliche tendency**: 매 default 가 generic. 매 prompt engineering + curation 필요.
- **Long context 의 consistency**: 매 model 의 context window 의 한계. RAG / summary 의 essential.
- **Branching의 explosion**: 매 choice = 2x state. 매 manageable design 필요.
- **Author 의 voice vs efficiency**: 매 unique 의 ↑ = manual ↑.
- **Copyright / training data**: 매 LLM 의 training 의 lawsuit.
- **WGA / writer 의 contract**: 매 industry change.
