As a physician, I began to notice in the clinic how language reveals its hidden machinery. Even simple phrases—“the school was going to…” — carried a quiet double logic, a pairing of purpose and infinitival force that patients used instinctively to make sense of their world. That realization pulled me beyond medicine and into the deep structure of narrative itself, where those same operators shape how stories move, collapse, and cohere.
