The document discusses using narrative as a model for mathematical epistemology. It proposes three modes of epistemology: genetic, how knowledge is acquired; normative, how to validate what is known; and imperative, how to facilitate knowledge acquisition. As an example, it describes how narrative comprehension involves reconstructing experiences as communicative nodes linked in a semantic network representing events. It asks how mathematical texts can be read narratively and what cognitive evidence is needed to support modeling knowledge through narrative.
