Explanation
The world constructed by a text from characters, objects, spaces, times, rules, and possible events. It describes understanding as the construction of a navigable model in which explicit statements and inferred connections jointly hold.
Example
Scattered cues allow readers to construct a city, its districts, and its social order.
Counterexample
Merely mentioning “Text world” without the described function is not a sufficient example.
Distinction
A discourse world more strongly includes the communicative situation and its knowledge; a text world denotes the model projected by the text.
Effect on thought and perception
It describes understanding as the construction of a navigable model in which explicit statements and inferred connections jointly hold.
Resonance
In the atlas, Text world closes 1 previously unresolved reference line(s) and opens controlled paths of thought.
Etymology
Technical core term; individual etymological review pending
Provenance
ATLAS 241 residual-case triage → profile candidate 241-C → source and neighbourhood cross-check → ATLAS 244
