The projection of an imagined reality involves self-initiated problem raising and problem solving — and at two levels of constraint

Two levels of constraint of self-initiated problem raising and problem solving while projecting an imagined reality:

  1. First, the transposition of real world elements into make-believe raises questions:
    • Where is my imaginary country?
    • What do imaginary beings do there?
  1. Second, the answers suppose chimeric, yet plausible solutions. These, in turn, require a balanced blend of imaginative and analytic skills.

Put another way, worldplay exercises the capacity for consistent elaboration and synthesis within a modeled system.

Regardless of that system’s fantastical or realistic context, it provides a replicable strategy for learning and discovery.
