On the one hand, the fictive world is a creation of the particular consciousness that endows it with meaning and value; on the other hand, the fiction transcends that consciousness. It might be said (to use Husserl’s term in a modified way) that every fictive world partakes of an intentional character, or (to use a different angle of approach) that the full mimesis of which I speak is realized only because of the code and rhythms of a fictive world, but that the fictional structure, in turn, is viable only because of the mimetic potentiality.
