Stories as Dynamic Adaptive Environments
Davenport G
1994

Abstract
Stories are invitations to understand ourselves, our community, and the world around us. During a live conversation or performance, an active feedback loop exists between an audience and a teller of tales. The greatest benefit of the feedback loop is that it allows for personalization and individual learning. In computational modes of storytelling, the designer can promote feedback as a natural extension of the story situation by careful development of the story modules, by attention to the voice of the audience, and by introducing visible content frameworks. In some experimental works, strategies of "narrative guidance" and "society of audience" are juxtaposed in order to insure a more cohesive story experience.
