This hub defines the architectural boundaries between core organizational tools, prioritizing the separation of generation, analysis, and scoping. The [compile tool](https://aswritten.ai/narrative#Position_CompileNoFocusParam) is strictly reserved for full-worldview grounding, while the [scope tool](https://aswritten.ai/narrative#Position_ScopeIsNewSeparateTool) serves as the primary mechanism for windowed graph retrieval, effectively superseding previous domain-layer abstractions. Analysis is governed by the principle that [introspect must remain focused](https://aswritten.ai/narrative#Position_IntrospectNoSubgraphReturn) on gaps and tensions rather than returning raw subgraph content, and that [absence as a dimension](https://aswritten.ai/narrative#Position_AbsenceIsIntrospect) is functionally identical to introspective analysis. Regarding lens architecture, the [lens tool](https://aswritten.ai/narrative#Position_LensToolIsGenerator) is defined as a generator of compound perspectives rather than an execution engine, with the [eye chart](https://aswritten.ai/narrative#Position_EyeChartIsDocumentBeingEvaluated) serving as the foundational document for evaluation. The system treats [text refraction and eye charts](https://aswritten.ai/narrative#Position_TextAndEyeChartSameOperation) as mechanically identical operations, and [lenses themselves](https://aswritten.ai/narrative#Position_LensIsCompoundNotStacked) are designed as singular, multi-dimensional constructs rather than stacked layers.
