Some examples: The comedic adventure story where the chapters map to the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching. The comedic western story where the major plot twists map to the three alchemical elements (suphur-mercury-salt). The dramatic story taking place in a building where the floors map to the five chinese elements (metal-water-wood-fire-earth). The romantic fantasy story where the characters map to yin and yang. The story about adventurers where the characters map to the seven deadly sins. The story about detectives where the characters map to the twenty-two major arcana of the Tarot.

I'm currently working on something with people based on the alphabet with relationships like the letters have (for example, Anna is the queen of her high school, Ben is always in her shadow, Harry is very quiet, Eden is overworked and Grace hates Claire due to their history). Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal, highway or side streets, kiss her or keep her, we make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness, it's the best anyone can do. A blog: http://michaeljritchie.livejournal.com/ Fran: You know, in Tibet, if they want something, do you know what they do? They give something away. Bernard: Do they? Do they? That must be why they're such a dominant global power.

Maybe add some synonyms for "map to", though; "correspond with" springs to mind, as do "are linked to" or "are derived from"... ~ Wolfgang Kaiser, Zeppelin Vigilante ~ "Kidnapping Nubile Victorian Ladies Since 1867"

Seriously though, this is amazing. I might use something like this for the story project... Because sometimes you just have to ask yourself "How does one fight an indestructible being that moves faster than time?"
