the standard by which progress is measured in the Objective Story

The Objective Story Benchmark is the gauge that tells people how far along the story has progressed. It can't say how much longer the story may go, but in regards to seeing how far away the goal is, both the Objective Story Characters and the audience will look to the benchmark in order to make any kind of judgment. This Type item describes the nature of the measuring stick which will be used in the story.
