Syntomic™ Operational Manual

Technical documentation for the Syntomic™ Narrative Engineering Environment. Unlike traditional design tools, Syntomic™ focuses on structural integrity and persuasion logic.


1. System Requirements

Ensure your hardware meets the minimum specifications for the physics engine and 3D rendering.

WINDOWS

  • OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)
  • Processor: Quad-core (Rec.)
  • RAM: 8GB

MACOS

  • OS: Big Sur (11.0)+
  • Chip: Apple Silicon / Intel
  • RAM: 8GB

2. Installation & Activation

Installation

  1. Download the installer (`.msi` or `.dmg`) from your purchase email.
  2. Run the installer.
    • Windows SmartScreen:

      Click "More Info""Run Anyway". This appears for independent tools not yet using corporate identity certificates.

    • macOS Gatekeeper:

      If prompted, go to System SettingsPrivacy & SecurityOpen Anyway.

  3. Launch Syntomic™ from your application menu.

License Gate

Syntomic™ uses a one-time activation protocol.

key

Activation Process

Enter the License Key received via Lemon Squeezy. Internet access is required only for this nanosecond handshake. Once validated, the system goes permanently offline.


3. Core Concepts

Syntomic™ is not a slide designer. It is a logic compiler.

The Periodic Table

Narratives are assembled from modular units called Atoms. There are 48 pre-engineered atoms organized into 5 kinetic zones:

H HOOK
G GAP
P PIVOT
A ASK
X ANNEX

Catalysts

Catalysts are modifiers that can be "dragged" onto an Atom to alter its psychological framing without rewriting the core text.

  • Light Catalysts: Positive reinforcement (e.g., Social Proof, Scarcity).
  • Dark Catalysts: Competitive framing (e.g., The Phantom Rival).

The Narrative Advisor

An automated logic engine that guides you to build structurally strong narrative arcs.

  • timeline
    Structural Guidance Suggests optimal Atom sequences based on your initial Mission Brief variables.
  • warning
    Conflict Detection Warns you of logical fallacies or syntax errors (e.g., placing an "Ask" before establishing the "Gap").

4. Variable Workflow

Step 1: The Mission Brief

The system prevents "Blank Page Syndrome" via the Wizard. You must define three variables:

  • The Scenario: The specific context of the pitch.
  • The Audience: The status and psychological profile of the viewer.
  • The Time Constraint: The hard limit on your presentation duration.

Step 2: The Strategy Board

A Kanban-style environment where Atoms are arranged. If the narrative logic is flawed (e.g., proposing a solution before defining the problem), the syntax will feel "off". Use Drag & Drop to reorder until the logic flows efficiently.

Step 3: The Guided Editor

Clicking an Atom opens the Inspector. Here, you fill in the content. Fields have strict Character Limits to enforce brevity and engineering precision.


5. Output & Privacy

Exporting

Syntomic™ separates content (logic) from design (rendering). You do not "design" slides; the engine renders them.

  • PDF Export: High-density render for email/read-aheads.
  • Presentation Mode: Press Present for a distraction-free runtime environment. Press B to blackout.
