A term used in the Threefold Model, the GNS Model, and GENder Theory. In the original Threefold, it is defined as the style which values resolving in-game events based solely on game-world considerations, without allowing meta-game concerns to affect the decision. In GENder and later GNS articles, it is instead defined in terms of prioritizing Exploration and The Dream.
