However, with thanks to various people on slashdot, digg, gamedev.net and gamasutra, I've managed to dig down and figure out the real problem underpinning everything I've seen and had issues with, having figured out a solution to it first. This paper exists to explain both, and provide a foundation upon which we can build, (or re-build), our understanding and definitions of everything we do and everything that happens to us — (including games and cRPG's).
The fundamental problem, is that the way we use the English Language, in an individually subjective manner, affects our description and understanding of what words themselves represent, (which has already been decided in a collective manner, and represented objectively), and therefore what they are seen and recognised to represent is inconsistent, from art, to games and puzzles etc..
I'll be using the blog to build on the foundation this paper provides, and will (eventually) get round to talking about cRPG's etc."
