Intersecting Narratives and Mathematics

This chapter introduces 'fan-o fiction,' a unique storytelling form that intertwines poetry and geometry to inspire creativity through restrictive guidelines. It explores how graph theory enhances interactive narratives, using examples like the film Bandersnatch, and highlights the mathematical challenges behind crafting such complex stories. The discussion further dives into how mathematical principles influence classic tales, emphasizing the interplay between structure and whimsy in storytelling.
