‘Ousiometrics’ for measuring the overall essential meaning arcs of real and fictional stories

We will fully develop an online Ousiometer in the same manner as our happiness-measuring instrument, the Hedonometer. As with the Hedonometer, the Ousiometer will function through queries to the extended Storywrangler system. We next propose to use our Ousiometer to measure and track essential meaning ambient (or adjacent) to an anchor keyword.
