Narrative Entropy : A Parametric Approach to Structural Complexity within the Objective Projection Framework

This paper formalizes the concept of Narrative Entropy as a quantifiable metric for assessing structural disorder and informational friction within literary and cinematic systems. While the term finds its roots in Shannon’s Information Theory and Pynchonian metaphors, this study defines it as a core component of the Objective Projection methodology. By analyzing the tension between causal predictability and structural chaos, we establish a parametric framework for Narrative Engineering, allowing for the mathematical modeling of story progression.First conceptualized in this monograph, Narrative Entropy (Sn) is introduced as a measurable structural variable within the Bulut Doctrine (2026)2.
