**Therefore**:

This paper/talk introduces an innovative application of the Calculus of Indications in George Spencer-Brown's 'Laws of Form' to the analysis of story structure.

**Problem**: What's necessary for any story to be identified as a particular kind of story?

> The paper presents a potential solution to a problem raised by H A Porter Abbott (The Cambridge Introduction to Narrative, 2010/2016, p. 21): 'What is necessary for the story of Cinderella to be the story of Cinderella? … is a question that can never be answered with precision.' The paper potentially shows not just what's necessary for the story of Cinderella to be the story of Cinderella, but what's necessary for any story to be identified as a particular kind of story.

We are working on a similar problem right now, only for us it's not just about recipes but stories in general. Before we dive right into the technical intricacies of how we might get the question answered with the Zettelkasten, it might be a good idea to take a step back, so to speak: **How are same recipes constructed, so that they appear to be the same to an observer?** Therefore we (re-)formulate the problem this way: What is necessary for a story to be identified as a particular kind of story? https://wiki.ralfbarkow.ch/view/recipe/view/the-unknown-storyteller reddit

**Therefore**:

Apply Spencer-Brown's methodology to the analysis of story structures, looking at the close link between story structures and different types of problems.
