Tri-Fusion: A Three-Layer Framework for Transparent Information Synthesis

Mapping Narrative Structure Without Asserting Truth

Condensed Overview

Tri-Fusion is a conceptual NLP architecture for analyzing how different sources construct and frame the same event. It proposes a three-layer system that maps claims, generates a normalized narrative synthesis, and audits that synthesis for omissions, framing drift, and source divergence, creating a transparent alternative to black-box summarization or centralized truth-ranking systems.

Introduction

Tri-Fusion is a conceptual framework for narrative media analysis. The framework is designed to analyze narrative structure and claims across sources, without directly determining correctness.

The framework leverages a 3-layer system (Cartographer, Diffuser, Auditor) to:

• map narrative landscape claims
• approximate and synthesize a centroid narrative
• audit the synthesized narrative With this architecture, Tri-Fusion assists in analyzing narrative landscapes

Limits of Scope

Tri-Fusion is not:

• a truth-determining system
• a fact-checking engine
• a production-ready framework

Core Components

Cartographer:

• Maps narrative claims to related sources
• Groups claims by approximate similarity

Diffuser:

• Reconstructs critical narrative flow and claims
• Approximates a lexical centroid narrative
• Outputs synthetic narrative based on narrative reconstruction and centroid narrative approximation

Auditor:

• Analyzes divergences between the synthetic narrative and claim map
• Represents divergence analysis as indexes
