Because the narrative progression relaxes, we can weave our own connotations out of what we see and hear.

1. I’m not sure if this is additive abstraction but here’s the idea. You start out with a given situation, let’s say a story about a bike messenger who has a brother in a wheelchair. If there is an element of the story that involves his bike getting stolen it is important to NOT HINT at it. In other words, one should find a way to set up logical events without calling attention to them (or by using distractions). Another thought regarding this might be…to not have levels of hierarchy for events in a story. All events should be treated equally with the same degree of importance (which is the same thing as without any importance).
