The Many-to-One Problem in Genre Comparison

Distributed Literary Precedents, Founder-Stage Genrehood, and the Singular Architecture of Francisco M. Martinez

Abstract

A genre-theory article defining the many-to-one problem: the need to use several established writers to describe separate regions of one integrated literary system. It argues that Mythotechnic Fiction and Meta-Mythic Delphic Fiction possess defensible structural genrehood and presently occupy a founder-stage position.
