I am thinking about the double-bind thing, perhaps one day.

Glad to be in good company!

Great to see some focus on rule systems beyond those designed by the game designers, but which are nonetheless ‘in play’ during the game.

Now you just have to get some double-bind theory in there. (In its most crude form: “If you win this game of chess, I will kill you. If you lose, I’ll kill your children. You must play, and we don’t discuss the rules any further”).

BTW Jesper we are using your notes on juiciness in our second semester next week. Going to bring in Wilhelm Reich’s orgasm theory too.
