I am struck by the event of dissolution (in Spencer’s articulation). I wonder how one might think of narrative dissipating into narrativity. Not so much all stories being chapters of a single story as all stories as potential building blocks for other stories. The challenge for me is actually observing a narrative degenerate.

Yes, I agree, François, one story does lead into another one…. And sometimes, what is the central story for us, with its point and everything, becomes just a building block for someone else’s story. Makes me think of what Rochester says in a poem, “Dead, we become the lumber of the world”.
Very tickled to discover that Rochester’s translation of Seneca continues thus:
Dead, we become the lumber of the world,
And to that mass of matter shall be swept
Where things destroy’d with things unborn are kept.
Yes, quite impressive! I also recommend the Johnny Depp film on Rochester, ‘The Libertine’.
