De Bruijn Schema: Graphing for Literary Production Let's say you're writing a book. Let's say you've got a few characters and a general idea of a plot, but are not entirely sure how that plot should unfold? Let's say you need to know when characters should interact and when they should all appear in the same chapter, but don't know how to make this decision? One means of knotting this Gordian cut is through the utilisation of De Bruijn graphs of various sizes on levels of complexity. Through these graphs, any number of narrative or plot elements may be sequenced and brought into relation with each other. And example: There are three characters, [1, 2, 3] [Position 1] Joe Green [Position 2] Alfred de Balbec [Position 3] Giovanni Castiglione They can be mapped into the following De Bruijn graph with, as in Binary mathematics, 0 representing absence and 1 representing presence: This graph can be expanded by following the arrows, starting at position [000]. Sequence: 000; 000; 001; 010; 101; 011; 111; 111; 110; 100; 000; 001; 011; 111; 110; 101; 010; 100; 000; 000. The same sequence in character presence: None; none; GC; AB; JG-GC; AB-GC; JG-AB-GC; JG-AB-GC; JG-AB; JG; none; GC; AB-GC; JG-AB-GC; JG-AB; JG-GC; AB; JG; none; none.
