      Consider a computer which is not an "authority", synthesizing some virtual world and enforcing its rules, but rather 2/3

      a "material", in the real world, which we use and shape in a physical and human context that the computer is only minimally aware of. 3/3

          The 'material' vs 'authority' is in many ways a misreading of Crawford and others in this vein. Materials have rules & thus always mediate.

          A key aspect of looking at games as a conversation (or interaction loop) is to give players a main role. Games as human process vs artifact.

          People have often used games in unexpected ways: LAN parties as a *social* event & minecraft for storytelling are not isolated examples

          G.Sussman "We Really Don't Know How to Compute". We code specific provable paths instead of generic evolving beyond what author design for.

          In a sense, one could argue that digital text is essentially just that: "digital material" used for code, communication, commands.
