So, without digging up my copy of Huizinga to make sure it's in there and I'm not misremembering, it's something people theorizing about the social purpose of play talk about.

Basically, play is sometimes defined as a situation where normal social rules are suspended and replaced with others, that, ideally, let people explore their relationship to the real-world social rules.

That's a really rough quick description of it, that I may have gotten wrong. I'll find the Huizinga soon and get back to you.
