Solstory stories are defined by the writer key and the nft mint key. These two together are used to create the pda address that contains the WriterHead, which contains a few flags, location information for the first item in the chain, and the verification hash used to protect the rest of the chain from tampering.

The accessType enum together with the objId give us the information required to look up the first item in the chain. We load that clientside, and it gives us the same information to look up the next. Each item is secured by a hash calculation, and within that validated set of information is the hash for the next item, so we can recursively verify the authenticity of the entire chain.

Obivously this involves a lot of serial internet lookup, which is why we use a cdn (coming soon) that lets us look up a bunch of items at once. Since the first verification hash is on the blockchain, the recursive verification process still works.
