gmeow:slices/narrative - Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)
One reading of a character's state at a narrative position — an observation: vantage = the analyzing model or critic, subject = the frame-scoped character, position = a NarrativePosition (narrative-position axis; discourse-time by default, story-time samples legal and distinct), state = an emotion-type or analogous value by IRI (the affect slice's EmotionType when loaded, EmotionML category IRIs otherwise — soft reference, never dependency). Two analyzers disagreeing about chapter 31 are two coexisting cells (Principle 9). The existing gmeow:CharacterArc is the integrating whole: samples attach via gmeow:arcSample ⊑ gmeow:hasPart, and an arc with no samples stays valid (book-level-only analyses).
Structure
Subclass of: gmeow:Observation
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:ArcSample as a specialized kind of gmeow:Observation. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.
