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:
- First, the transposition of real world elements into make-believe raises questions:
- Where is my imaginary country?
- What do imaginary beings do there?
- 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.
