finding:pask-s-diagram-depicts-fun-palace-as-boxes-with-connected-lines-indicating-user-behavior-capture-quantification-and-system-driven-spatial-reconfigurationPask's diagram depicts Fun Palace as boxes with connected lines indicating user-behavior capture, quantification, and system-driven spatial reconfiguration.
Formalization of interaction between users and control system; controversial for treating humans as data but theoretically intended as platform for distributed cognition.
