Continuity checks

The checks are rules over your data. No model runs. Every issue names the rule, the scenes, events and characters that break it, and a scene to jump to.

Code	Rule	Looks at	Severity
C1	In two places at once	A character in two overlapping scenes at different places	error
C2	Travelled too fast	From A to B faster than the route allows	warning
C3	The dead reappear	In a present-mode scene after their death	error
C4	Before they existed	In a scene before their birth or founding	error
C5	Age drift	A scene says an age the birth date contradicts	warning
C6	Date and weather	A stated weekday against the calendar; two weathers at one place and time	warning
C7	Order of time	Relative times in a circle; an anchored event timed outside its scene	error
C8	Point of view not present	The point-of-view character is not in the scene	warning
C9	Knows too early	A scene says they know something before they learn it	warning
C10	One object, two places	A unique object in two places at once	error
C12	Beat off its mark	A structure beat far from its target	info

Flashback, dream and memory scenes are exempt from the presence rules.

Using the checks#

Run them from the Story view or ask your AI to run them. The result is stored.
Open an issue to jump to the scene.
Dismiss an issue that is intended. Dismissals are remembered by fingerprint, and undo brings an issue back.

What they need#

The checks work on what you entered. For travel (C2) they need places and routes with distances on a map. For knowledge (C9) they need events of the kind learns or effects on knows. For age (C5) they need birth dates in the profile.

What they cannot see#

A fact that is only in your prose and nowhere in your data.
Style, grammar or whether a scene works.
Statements about age in prose are low confidence and show as information only.
