AI Writing Tools Could Use Knowledge Ledgers to Avoid Character Continuity Errors

An article proposes that AI-assisted writing tools should use a structured 'knowledge ledger' to track character information. The system would record which story facts each character knows at any given point in a scene. This approach aims to prevent common errors where a character acts on information they have not yet learned, preserving narrative consistency. The author suggests this method provides a more reviewable, fact-based check than a broad instruction to 'keep the story consistent'.
