The years are not numbers, they're more like letters spelling out a word.

Make a gadget offer a longer duration (the
computer is the latest) the more it
simulates life. But every game offers
para-time although it is played
in real time. So, with computers
more and more K so you can play
longer games. This gives the appearance of
more closely approximating life- like
Dickens offering more and more episodes as he
simultaneously creates a
sense of on-goingness as well as a
discrete awareness that the mechanical and
arbitrary systemetizing of the
rules of a game occurs more at the
ragged edges between ending one and
beginning another.

The best move of any game is the one
that successfully completes
this "hand" or sequence- so I can
(usually) rapidly go on to the next one.
