The Connection Point (Filtered Extraction)

“The moment the Kitchen meets the Meal.”

The Connection Point is the most powerful feature of Writers Factory. It acts as a Semantic Filter that sits between your infinite Research Library (Codex) and your specific Story Bible.

Why You Need It

If you have 50 notebooks with 10,000 paragraphs of research, you cannot paste all of that into ChatGPT. It’s too much. It will confuse the AI and dilute your story.

You need a way to find the top 50 irrelevant facts. Not just “facts about swords” (Keyword Search). But “facts about swords that resonate with a theme of Betrayal” (Semantic Filter).

How It Works

The Lens: Your Story Bible

The input for the filter is your Story Bible, specifically:

  • Protagonist: Flaw, Lie, Want.
  • Theme: Central dramatic argument.
  • World: Core rules and friction.

The Source: Your Codex

The search space is your entire Research Library.

The Process

  1. You click “Connect Research” in Architect Mode.
  2. The system reads your Story Bible to understand your intent.
  3. Calculates the “vector distance” between your Story Intent and every paragraph in your Codex.
  4. It keeps the 50 closest matches.

The Output: The Research Graph

These 50 matches become your Research Graph. This is a temporary, highly potent subset of your research that is injected into the context of every scene generation.

Example

Story: A noir detective story about addiction. Research: A notebook about Marine Biology.

Keyword Search: Fails. There is no keyword overlap between “Detective” and “Fish”.

Connection Point:

  • The system knows the story is about Addiction (Systems of dependency, trapping, feeding).
  • It searches the Marine Biology notebook.
  • It finds a paragraph about Angler Fish (Luring prey into the dark, dependency on a host).
  • Result: It extracts the Angler Fish as a metaphor for the villain.

The connection isn’t literal. It’s thematic. That is the power of the Connection Point.
