Why Games

Distilled insight from Analysis: Minecraft.

Gamifying learning — efficiency; games require pleasant UX.
Videogame as platform — choosing the game style (personalization).
Meaning emerges from context → Plato’s metaphysics:
1. everything already exists;
2. everything that already exists already exists in the metaphysical world;
3. the formula exists before materialization — people discovered it; therefore, the perfect text/software already exists, it just needs to be discovered.
Linguistics (meaning, semiotics) from bottom to top: social contract — usage dictates the rule.
Design: basic functionality + a mechanic that encourages curiosity + personalization via more functionality (like redstone in Minecraft).
