Narrativist treats stories shared across roughly 5,000 years not as beliefs to endorse or debunk, but as systems to observe, compare, and design. Its public index already links 21 narratives, 7 thinkers, 7 texts, 10 regions, 10 concepts, and 22 relationships, with an article on how Yoruba religion survived and transformed across the Atlantic.
