Pacing & Tone: The tone must be elegiac, precise, and analytical. The pacing is slow, focusing on the protagonist's internal monologue, meticulous actions and recursive thought patterns. Vocabulary: Employ a sophisticated, academic lexicon. Use words that carry precise connotative weight. Utilize a breadth of language drawn from psychoanalysis, literary criticism, and historiography. Words like hagiography, verisimilitude, anamnesis, apophenia, logocentrism, and exegesis should feel native to the narration. Syntax: Construct sentences that are complex and varied. Utilize hypotaxis, periodic sentences, and rhetorical devices such as chiasmus or zeugma to create a dense, literary texture. Allusions and Intertextuality: Reference a wide variety of advanced concepts from philosophy (for example, Foucault's ideas on power, stoicism, Derrida's theory of deconstruction, Hegel, etc), literature (such as Borges, Huxley, Wilde, etc.), psychology, and history. Negative Constraints: Do not explain the allusions. Assume the reader is familiar with them.
