game

A game is an objective path to optimization subject to a reward function [games adhere to the rules (genetic algorithms) of gameplay]. Mathematically, games are used to train some object [mo]. The intent of each and every one of our games is to derive a yesegalo proof (ie. a zero bubble), in the style of capture the flag🏁. Ludologically*, games are finite-state puzzles🧩 (ie. combinatorial events within a lab) whose sessions last for the duration^& of an opus, and conclude with a closed🔒 brane, giving them congruence to sequenced images [mesh].A game is 'played' when an opus is juked. Games can have one (1) or more players. (see Black and White) Any game will have at least an opening and an end. (compare gene, see also sport, player, gamification, gameshow, game theory, toy, puzzle🧩)

Theoretically, games are economic phenomena purposed to optimize some thing, and any game can be reduced to just a path (random coil/partition of Egglepple) needing securing🔐.
/// +A requisite to meet the definition is that objectives must be met before advancing (which is why the reward function exists).
+A game must generate its own statistics.
