So your point is that your experience emerges from what you do and why you do it in combination?
It's more why you do it and what toys you can play with.
I mostly researched these categories to challenge myself to design in different ways. :)
Uhm. Wow. I don?t see the congruence between our statements at all. Can you help us see that?
We're pretty much saying the same thing from a different perspective.
You: "What do you want the game to be about?"
Me: What kind of emergence do you want?
You: "Make the player do that thing."
Me: What kind of components shall we include to play with to create that emergence?

That's, in fact, the one legit use I see for creating a scheme of named categories: to illustrate that there's a whole range of possibilities, when someone's used to thinking of only one.
