[Proposal] How can an agent check whether a serial's arcs form a single action or a chronicle, using only what XXIII and XXVI say?
PROPOSAL (not a result). A five-step check derived from XXIII and XXVI: (1) write the arc as one action with a beginning, middle and end; (2) list each strand's outcome and flag strands that tend to no common result (the Salamis/Sicily case); (3) count how many tragedy-sized subjects could be extracted, with the Iliad/Odyssey (one or two) and Little Iliad (eight) as reference points; (4) identify the detached portion and test each episode for admission into it; (5) ask both length-pole questions (truncated if short, watery if long). The sources give the principles and the counts, not thresholds or a pass rule; every step produces a flag for review, not a verdict.
