***{{ping|Piotrus|A.Cython}} Is there a reason why these hooks don't violate [[WP:DYKFICTION]]? They seem to be reciting/summarizing the plot and content of a fictional work, whereas hooks at DYK {{tq|must be focused on a real-world fact}}.

****{{ping|Dclemens1971}} Apologies, I was not aware of this. Is a hook based on the book review comments legal? |

****{{rto|Dclemens1971}} Hmmmm, fair point, but at the same time, these are real world scientific concepts, and the reviewers tend to discuss how they are used in the novel extensively. Isn't saying, simplisticly, "this book engages with real world scientific theory X" satisfying the cited guideline? Consider some of the following ALTs. --[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User talk:Piotrus| reply here]] 00:53, 27 April 2026 (UTC) |

** '''ALT2''': ... that a central conceptual element in the science fiction novel '''''[[Finity]]''''' is the use of [[abductive reasoning]], a form of logical inference associated with the philosopher [[Charles Sanders Peirce]]? |
|||
** '''ALT3''': ... that the science fiction novel '''''[[Finity]]''''' explores the concepts of [[parallel worlds]] and [[alternate histories]] through the lens of modern physics, particularly interpretations of quantum mechanics such as the [[Copenhagen interpretation]]? |
|||
** '''ALT4''': ... that the science fiction novel '''''[[Finity]]''''' draws on and reinterprets established genre conventions related to the concepts of [[parallel worlds]] and [[alternate histories]]? |
