ABSTRACT
Completeness, or the illusion of completeness, in the present definition, refers to an emergent phenomenon arising out of the interactions amongst the objects that make up that world. The definition of completeness offered here stands somewhat at odds with the history of the concept, in which "completeness" has mainly referred to the question of whether one can account for all of the properties of a real or fictional object. In addition to Ryan and scholars of possible worlds, scholars of fictional worlds have also taken up the question of completeness. Because completeness and consistency are mutually constitutive, because they rely on each other for their existences and because this reliance sees one increase as the other decreases, and because completeness itself is a dynamic process rather than a static condition, in the end, people must once again understand that no fictional world is ever complete finally.
