Symplectic Geometry and Its Analogies in Narratology

Symplectic geometry, a branch of mathematics focused on the properties of spaces that are defined by a two-form which is both closed and non-degenerate, offers a compelling framework for exploring narrative structures and dynamics. By drawing parallels between symplectic principles and elements of storytelling, we can uncover new dimensions of narrative analysis, enhancing our understanding of how stories are constructed and evolve. At the core of symplectic geometry is the concept of a manifold structured by a two-form that is closed, indicating it has no boundaries or edges in its mathematical properties, and non-degenerate, ensuring that every part of the space has significance. <a href="https://medium.com/@ingvargrijs/symplectic-geometry-and-its-analogies-in-narratology-f4507e21ab12">Learn More</a>
