Yes, I see humanity engaging in games and LARPing as an interaction between those who are aware of the game being defined by arbitrary rules, and those who don’t. Most don’t realize it’s arbitrary. I’ve thought about what you said recently and it comes down to “well-defined” being relative. Usually to those that are defining it. It’s not objective. Additionally that’s enforcing or coercing a game unto others that they may not wish to engage with or may not be able to conceptualize it. Some people prefer characteristics over others. Have predispositions to likings and not likings. Using a language is in of itself agreeing to a game. If a thing requires consent of will to proceed as a rule, it’s a game. Language, or any system of rules would be part of agreeing to a confined space of possibilities and “game-space” Interesting to ponder nonetheless at a different abstraction. I keep trying to go “deeper” behind the language itself, I arrive at signal and then we’re in a puddle of discrete and non discrete values. Fun.
