Author

AUTHOR ia a program (under development) which generates stories as a creative reasoner in pursuit of her own narrative goals. It is thus intended to simulate an author's mind as ahe makes up a story, rather than the world as things happen in it. The four major forces driving the story generation process, according to the AUTHOR model, are:

(1) author intentionality,
(2) conceptual reformulation,
(3) reminding, and
(4) the opportunity enhancement metagoal.
