ludology

Ludology is the logic [(cassette+certificate+token)s] of games. As it is important to stereotyping, this would be strategy leading to proof [strategy→proof] in relation to some walk. A person who simulates and/or creates (models) games is called a ludologist (with certain restrictions applied, this same person may also be called a gamer). (also of interest ludeiy, gameplay, gameshow, game theory, opera ludo)

For ludological consideration, any game requires the interplay of three (3) things ("rules"): 1) a player, 2) string, and 3) rhetoric.
A simplest definition would be "the charting of currency". Something more formal would be that our game logic is that of "sorting algorithms pertaining to twistorspace".

Our game engine responds directly to calls (the "payload").

The field is not the same as game theory, which moreso studies strategies in particular. Ludology, on the otherhand, encompasses all aspects of juking [especially game mechanics and (methods of) gamification].

Ludology does not necessarily promote physics; it is possible that our games may not calibrate potential energy functions (such as force fields). In its stead, models and simulations are promoted with automation.
