A travelling beacon for the Wampum Narrative Engine academic foundation.

Install this package and you can reach — without depending on the studio team — the grounded academic fields behind the Wampum Narrative Engine, their cited sources, the "second eye" synthesis with the Narrative Context Protocol (NCP), and the cultural-protocol governance that binds any use of them.

It is small on purpose. It carries the index + the prose + the governance, so a consumer (an Android app on the land, a web studio, an agent) can light up the foundation locally and stay in step as the work advances.

⚠️ Read NOTICE.md first. Belt meanings are cited from public Haudenosaunee/Great Lakes teachings — never owned by this packet. The governance block travels with the data; carry it in any presentation.

What's inside

| Path | What it is | |------|------------| | manifest/fields.json | Machine-readable index — fields, sources, governance, provenance (for non-JS consumers, e.g. Android reading JSON). | | foundations/*.md | The full foundation prose: 4 field packets + context-layer, intent-understanding, synthesis, README, source-ledger.yaml. | | src/ → dist/ | Zero-dependency typed accessors over the same payload. |

The four grounded fields (MECE)

| Field | Discipline | Engine construct it explains | |-------|------------|------------------------------| | material-rhetoric-and-nonlinear-hypertext | Digital Rhetoric / Hypertext (Haas 2007) | notation, NarrativeAnchor | | treaty-diplomatic-protocol-and-relational-governance | Treaty Studies / Relational Governance | CommitmentLog | | perspectival-narratology-and-prompt-layering | Narratology / Multiperspectivity | RelationalPerspective, readings, generateOralHistory | | indigenous-data-sovereignty-and-cultural-protocol | Data Governance / Cultural Protocol | custodianship/consent gate |

Central finding: the Wampum Narrative Engine is the structural answer to the four Western assumptions NCP inherits from Dramatica (linear sequence, individual protagonist, conflict-as-engine, subtext/storytelling split). It is NCP's second eye (Etuaptmumk), not its replacement.

Use it (JS / TS)

import {
  listFields, getField, getSourcesFor, governanceNotice, centralFinding,
} from "@miadi/foundations-wampum-narrative-engine";

for (const f of listFields()) {
  console.log(f.discipline, "→", f.summary);
}

const sources = getSourcesFor("perspectival-narratology-and-prompt-layering");
const notice = governanceNotice(); // present this, always

Use it (any language)

Read the bundled JSON — no JS runtime needed:

node_modules/@miadi/foundations-wampum-narrative-engine/manifest/fields.json

Each field's doc points to the full markdown under foundations/.

It's a beacon — it gets brighter

The canonical foundation lives at foundations/wampum-narrative-engine/ in jgwill/Miadi. As the work advances, this package is re-bundled and republished so the public reading stays current:

pnpm sync          # re-copy the canonical foundation prose into this package
pnpm build         # emit dist/
# bump version, then publish
