concept

Vilém Flusser
introduces
Philosopher whose concept of 'game' and critique of apparatus/computation frames the entire analysis of cybernetic diagrams.
open game
extends
Flusserian game where players subvert rules to produce novel information, in contrast to zero-sum or predetermined systems; the critical aim for cybernetic diagrams.
"Chess is structurally simple but functionally complex, because its rules are easy, but it is difficult to play chess well."
supports
Flusser's exemplar of open game: functional complexity enables creative subversion through dialogical play.
apparatus (Flusser)
associated_with
Flusser’s term for computational black-box devices that acquire autonomy and manipulate human behavior.
conversation (Pask)
associated_with
Pask’s mode of interaction where two entities induce each other to act according to their protocols, enabling a continuous control loop and novelty.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

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

The Flatwriter is characterized as a game with a very broad repertoire of moves, but still limited to a set of rigid and well-defined rules.claim0.674
