1. The Need for Multi-Aspectual Representation of Narratives in Modelling their Creative Process

   Existing approaches to narrative construction tend to apply basic engineering principles of system
   design which rely on identifying the most relevant feature of the domain for the problem at
   hand, and postulating an initial representation of the problem space organised around such a
   principal feature. Some features that have been favoured in the past include: causality, linear
   discourse, underlying structure, and character behavior. The present paper defends the need for
   simultaneous consideration of as many as possible of these aspects when attempting to model the
   process of creating narratives, together with some mechanism for distributing the weight of the
   decision processes across them. Humans faced with narrative construction may shift from views
   based on characters to views based on structure, then consider causality, and later also take into
   account the shape of discourse. This behavior can be related to the process of representational
   re-description of constraints as described in existing literature on cognitive models of the writing
