Open Loops: What Remains Unresolved
Track open loops, questions, and unresolved threads across the manuscript. Know what you set up and what you still need to pay off. The system reminds you before a loop is forgotten.
Why this is hard
Long manuscripts have problems that short documents do not.
You set up a mystery in chapter 3, a promise in chapter 7, and a character arc in chapter 12. By chapter 20, you have forgotten two of them. The reader notices.
Open loops are easy to create and hard to close. A 300-page book can have dozens of open threads at various stages of resolution. Without a system, you close some, forget others, and the book feels incomplete.
Open loops, questions, and unresolved threads are tracked in one hub. You can see what is open, what is partially resolved, and what has been forgotten. The system reminds you before a loop is left dangling.
You create and close loops. You decide when something is resolved. The system tracks the state and warns you when something is forgotten.
What other Inkloom features interact with it
Continuity
Facts are extracted from your chapters into structured records with fact types, entity labels, confidence percentages, and source passages. Proposed facts promote to canonical with one click. Conflicts become cards. Nothing is ever silently resolved.
Canon
Canon is the set of facts your book has established as true. Proposed facts become canonical when you approve them. Canonical facts are binding on future generation. Superseded facts are preserved for history.
Character Tracking
For fiction, Inkloom tracks characters, motivations, knowledge states, relationships, world rules, timeline events, reveals, motifs, and point of view. Each character can have up to 8 reference images for visual consistency across generated covers and illustrations. Character rename propagates across the entire project.
Context Trace
Every AI-made version in a chapter's History carries a Trace button. One click shows exactly what Inkloom knew when it created that version: the model, the prompt template and its version, the timestamp, and every context item with whether it was always included or retrieved by relevance.

What Is Book Continuity?
Book continuity is the consistency of facts, events, character states, timelines, and promises across an entire manuscript. It is what makes a book feel like one coherent work instead of a collection of chapters.
How to Prevent Plot Contradictions
Plot contradictions happen when a later chapter conflicts with something an earlier chapter established. They erode reader trust. Here is how to catch them before publication, not after.
Character Continuity: Keeping Track of Who Knows What
Character continuity is the hardest part of writing a long novel. Characters learn things, forget things, change relationships, and accumulate history. Here is how to keep it all straight.
