redigono

Redigono is a term used primarily in speculative fiction, world-building discourse, and discussions of AI storytelling to denote a class of narrative-generation systems that integrate revision and origination steps. In redigono-based frameworks, earlier narrative segments can be retroactively edited or reframed as new content is generated, allowing canon to be dynamic rather than fixed. The term is often used to discuss how authors or algorithms manage consistency across a changing narrative landscape.

Origin and etymology: The coinage appears to blend a prefix suggesting repetition or return with a suffix reminiscent of generative processes, implying a mechanism that reshapes content as it is produced. It is not widely standardized and has no formal definition in mainstream mathematics, linguistics, or literary theory.

Characteristics: Redigono concepts typically involve iterative revision, versioning of scenes, and linkages that ensure changes propagate through dependent plotlines or data structures. They aim to preserve internal coherence while expanding the creative space. In practice, redigono is discussed mainly as a design principle in adaptive storytelling, interactive fiction, and AI narrative engines.

Applications: Used in interactive writing environments, game design, and automated storytelling to produce non-linear or evolving narratives. Supporters argue that redigono enables richer world-building, while critics highlight risks around confusion, conflicting versions, and increased cognitive load for readers or players.
