ABSTRACT

There is yet a fourth type of being that has been lurking in the wings of this discussion, and even emerging into the limelight on occasion: ourselves, the author and reader of this book. It was we who interpreted the gameplaying practice described in Chapter 2, and it was we who interpreted the doings of logical beings in Chapter 3. Indeed, we were the first type of being introduced into the discussion, on the assumption that its goal is to make sense of ourselves as sapient beings.
