Danny O’Brien summarises Will Davies:

Will is developing, I think, a set of connections between gaming and coding. That you can only game explicitly defined code, and that codifying something leaves you at risk of being gamed. And if you try and artificially model something that isn’t following your rules, you could easily end up playing your own private game.

This is a lovely little idea: coding vs. gaming. Defending vs. attacking. Formal systems vs. Godel. There is so much packed into those last two sentences.

It’s stymied my topic map too. Is this gaming, AI, learning, politics, psychology, science, web, meta, law or something new?
