The central finding: the Novelization Engine does not produce a novel—it produces a *story system* capable of rendering into multiple output formats including prose fiction, screenplay, graphic novel, and audio drama. We introduce the term "Serialization Engine" in both its computer science sense (converting complex objects into transferable formats) and its publishing sense (episodic release structures). The framework identifies three parameter categories—structural, voice, and content—that can be adjusted to target different media and audience registers while preserving story integrity. This theoretical advance transforms the original case-study methodology into a parameterizable system for multi-format narrative development.} }
