Structural complexity versus functional complexity in games

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• structural complexityconcept0.798
  Flusser’s category of complexity where the system elements have very complex internal relationships (like apparatus).
• "Chess is structurally simple but functionally complex, because its rules are easy, but it is difficult to play chess well."concept0.782
  Flusser's exemplar of open game: functional complexity enables creative subversion through dialogical play.
• functional complexityconcept0.763
  Flusser’s category of complexity where a system provides a complex use (like chess), enabling creative plays.
• The kind of order that occurs in living structure has a complexity not usually describable by drawings or by architectural images.claim0.732
  Emphasizes the non-pictorial, process-dependent nature of living order.
• Complex, generated structure cannot be arrived at in any other way.quote0.732
  Concise statement that underscores the necessity of the generated process for real complexity.
• Diagrams can be understood as a strategy to deal with the structural complexity of the apparatus, enabling the creation of new games.claim0.726
  Following Flusser’s challenge, the paper claims that cybernetic diagrams are meta-tools for designing new rule systems.
• The complex nature of functional relationships between component parts begins to look less like the product of selection at the system level, and more like the source of evolutionary individuality.claim0.724
  Inverts the causal arrow: relationships produce individuality, not vice versa.
• There is a bidirectional relationship between the geometry of representation and behavior across tasks and modalities.claim0.719
  Author’s interpretive claim that the shared geometry is general and robust.
