From the author: in terms of its norms and values, its style, and its narrative progression. The readers' standards of what is or is not considered coherent are, however, historically and culturally variable. Furthermore, the readers' paratextual knowledge about the real author(s) may influence their inference of implied authors, too. Thus, the number of implied authors is not related to the number of real authors, but it is subject to the properties of the text on the one hand, and readers' variable values or aesthetics and their knowledge of paratextual information on the other. This is illustrated in detail with a wide range of literary fiction from the early 20th century to present-day online-writing projects.
