Dual Timeline Structure

Structure a dual timeline narrative:

Timeline A (Past): {{past_story}}
Timeline B (Present): {{present_story}}
Connection: {{connection}}

Structural Design:

1. TIMELINE RATIO
- What percentage is Past vs Present?
- Which timeline drives the story?

2. INTERCUTTING LOGIC
- What triggers cuts between timelines?
- Thematic echoes?
- Narrative reveals?
- Emotional continuity?

3. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
- What does Past explain about Present?
- What does Present reveal about Past?
- When does the audience understand the connection?

4. CONVERGENCE
- Do timelines meet?
- If yes, when and how?
- If no, what structural climax replaces convergence?

5. SCENE MAP
- Outline 20 scenes alternating timelines
- Mark what each cut achieves

6. SAMPLE SEQUENCE
- Write 3 consecutive scenes (Past-Present-Past or Present-Past-Present)
- Show how cuts create meaning
