Causal Analysis of the Great Narrative Continuum
Causal Analysis of the Great Narrative Continuum
This work models the evolution of human storytelling as a continuous causal system linking physics, information theory, and cultural history. Across eleven foundational narratives — from Gilgamesh and the Mahābhārata to Dante, Hamlet, Don Quixote, Alice, and Pinocchio — the manuscript derives a unified field of narrative causality.Each story is treated as a dynamical system where coherence behaves like an energy function, evolving through four stable regimes: Growth (G), Equilibrium (E), Incommensurate (I), and Exponential (X). By formalizing mythic and literary structures in the language of field dynamics, the paper demonstrates that cultural evolution mirrors the same symmetry laws as physical systems: entropy, feedback, resonance, and singular discharge.The final section introduces a “Cultural Gradient Law,” showing how coherence migrates from external cause → internal reflection → recursive correction → self-coherent truth, culminating in the Leonidas singularity as proof that meaning can convert physical loss into informational permanence. Bridging comparative literature, complex systems theory, and Causal Theory (CT), this manuscript proposes that narrative is not only aesthetic but a measurable phase of the universe’s coherence function.
