Ryan's Possible Worlds entry defines transfictionality (migration of characters, plots or settings between texts) and uses counterpart relations and Doležel's three operations (expansion, modification/displacement, transposition) to describe it. Her 'Narration in Various Media' entry distinguishes transmedial 'snowball' growth around a central text from franchises planned across media from the start, and lists four open questions: autonomy of components, same global world vs incompatible worlds, what signals sameness of storyworld, and what stories invite transmedial growth. Toolan's 'Coherence' adds that a name does not guarantee co-reference and that characters should stay self-consistent within narrated limits. A cross-installment canon ledger is a synthesis built on these; no source tests one.
