That's fine, you don't need me to get it. But the stuff I'm talking about isn't emergent. Generally, it's direct and clearly stated.

This makes GcL go "Maybe the perfection stated is not the perfection that emerges?"
That is, I think it's entirely possible for something in a game to be directly stated AND have interesting emergent properties.
