It’s a perspective worth exploring, empathy driven fear- a subconscious loop of “what if it was me” running through the audiences head without them realizing it. That’s a great challenge and a sweeter victory right there.
Also curious about where your research will lead you regarding the linear narration theory. Sounds interesting and it’s insane enough to be a ground breaker. Good luck with that.

I don’t think plot structure can exist without causal links, strictly speaking: Because a dream is a series of psychological associations, therefore a structure with causal links.

I enjoyed the article, thanks.
