Octopus: Entropy-Controlled Science Fiction Literature Generation with Persistent Memory-Context Binding

Abstract Long-form science fiction generation demands rigorous maintenance of narrative coherence across evolving plots, character dynamics, and speculative world-building. We propose Octopus, an entropy-controlled neural framework with persistent memory-context binding that addresses these challenges through two key innovations: 1) dynamic entropy regulation balancing creativity and structural stability via narrative divergence thresholds, and 2) hierarchical memory architecture preserving character states, plot events, and scientific rules over 10K+ token spans. Evaluations across 12 sci-fi subgenres demonstrate Octopus's superiority over GPT-4 and ReAlign baselines, achieving 15.2% higher coherence scores (SciClarity) and 62% fewer contextual contradictions in extended narratives. Human evaluations confirm its effectiveness in maintaining speculative logic (4.7/5 vs. 3.1/5 baseline) while preserving creative diversity. The framework resolves the "hard sci-fi paradox" of enforcing scientific rigor without compromising narrative flexibility, establishing new capabilities for AI-assisted cross-media universe development.
