The narrative moves chronologically.
A narrative that moves back and forth in time. (Apex)
Discontinuous narrative -- a narrative style in which the narrative moves back and forth through time. This particular style is usually associated with Modernist literature. A good example of discontinuous narrative is Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury.
Narrative continuity is when the story (narrative) moves from one point in time to another sequentially. IE--the story does not jump forwards and backwards in time, as in Chuck Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters, for example.
A shift pattern is exactly what it sounds like it would be. A shift pattern is a pattern that moves or can be shifted.
An orbital jigsaw is a jigsaw that as it moves up and down it moves in an elliptical pattern.

Pacing is how quickly you let things happen in a story.It would be a mistake to have everything happen all at once therefore the plot is inter spaced with moments of character building, back-story, philosophy, narrative and such so that the reader has an opportunity to experience a wealth of human interest.'High Noon' is a western movie that follows an exact time-line. Every minute is the film corresponds to a minute in (what would be real life). It is realistically paced with plenty of human interaction and only a blurb of action at the very end.'Flowers for Algernon' follows the pattern of a series of a daily reports. The book is paced as a post-day evaluation.'The Color(sic) Purple' follows the pattern of a series of letters. It is paced on a monthly basis.
It is a device (or series of related devices) that moves the narrative on and provides appeal and promise for the audience, but which also holds interest in and of itself. So, for example, 'time travel' could function as a narrative conceit insofar as it allows for the story to unfold and take on otherwise impossible dimensions, but it also fascinates as an extra-narrative metaphysical concept quite apart from the story per se.
Narrative action moves the plot forward, creating tension and conflict that engages the audience. It helps to develop characters, build suspense, and resolve conflicts, ultimately contributing to the overall storytelling experience by keeping the audience invested in the outcome.
The energy of a wave moves forward, causing the disturbance in the medium to propagate. This can be seen as the wave pattern moving through space.
Rhetorical moves refer to the strategic choices made by a speaker or writer to effectively communicate their message and persuade an audience. These moves can include the use of specific language, narrative techniques, appeals to emotion or logic, and structuring arguments in a compelling way. By employing rhetorical moves, communicators aim to influence the audience's perception, evoke responses, or drive action. Understanding these moves is essential for analyzing and crafting effective rhetoric in various contexts.
