Finite And Infinite Games 1.4
"To have such boundaries means that the date, place, and membership of each finite game are externally defined. When we say of a particular contest that it began on September 1, 1939, we are speaking from the perspective of world time; that is, from the perspective of what happened after its conclusion. So also with place and membership. A game is played in that place, with those persons.
The world is elaborately marked by boundaries of contest, its people finely classified as to their eligibilities."

This is from James P. Carse's "Finite and Infinite Games-- A Vision of Play and Possibility." So much do I love this book that I intend to duplicate its contents in entirety on this blog for all to read. As I write this, it occurs to me that my big idea is ilegal. Crap. Well, I'll ask the author for permission and see what happens.
