HI Colleen
looks like we need to add the 4th dimension to games and some new terminology.
complementary postulate situations are not games.
non complementary postulate situations are games
games are played on a scale of intention where a player starts with strong
intention and tends to win but racks up overts which erode willingness to play
and the strength of his intentions until he eventually is overwhelmed and
changes his postulate to "must not" play the game.
now if we want a society that is interesting and fun we need games but when
someone loses the game we lose a competitor and we need competitors in order to
keep playing games and having fun so we need to do something to help the loser
get back into the game.
James P Carse wrote "Finite and Infinite Games" where he states that when a
game gets to a point where someone is about to lose the winners can change the
rules and get the loser back on his feet so he can continue playing the game.
Examples are in farming communities farmers help each other plant and harvest
their crops. or if someones barn burns down everyone in the community comes
over to have a barn raising party.
Jews had a tradition called jubilee:
"This fiftieth year is sacred—it is a time of
freedom and of celebration when everyone will receive back their
original property, and slaves will return home to their families. "
>—Leviticus 25:10
So we need to look at how to play no games or to play infinite games.
Keep on TROMing
Pete
