mentioned principles are examples of crystalized categories. Thus it’s necessary to prove that Liz is a reasonable person, who has participated in fasting throughout her life and has subsequently only fainted twice, thus neither the element of negligence, or the element of intention are evident due to the contemporaneity principle.

In the way a finger leaves a print specific to the touch of its owner, auteurs stylize elements of their works so that their creation is definitive enough to be traced back to its creator. In order to identify these definitive components, an auteur must establish common thematic and formal elements that their texts typically contain.
