System to interact with- structure for reference. Rules.Objective. Rules for what you are trying to do and how to do it.

Happiness. Explore space. The process becomes part of the goal shapes the result. Skill and challenge. Difficult unusual interesting pushing against the boundaries of a system. Reimagine yourself. Someone different in a completely different world. From the constrain to our lives to constrains we choose. Forcing us constantly to rememeber how we exist and how others exit. Play and structure totally interconnected. Set of rules under the ones we can create in a safe environment and have people enjoy participation.
