And while we're here, not to go back to system stuff, but to create a system that is attuned to player desires, it is necessary to design deep mental dungeons and eliminate confusion about trpgs. To design dungeons and eliminate confusion, we need to think in appropriate concepts. We don't yet have the concepts we need to think clearly enough about ttrpgs. So we want to modify our concepts and create new concepts. The new concepts must be selected by the City of Providing Appropriate Elements of the role-playing game, capable of creating a system of everything tailored to the desires of the players.
The City, which provides appropriate elements of the role-playing game, is expressed in the suggestion of what should be changed. This proposal uses the concepts we already have. Because the concepts we already have are inadequate, this proposal does not fully represent the City. So we question a concept with the aim of replacing it with one or more concepts that better fulfill the role that the current concept plays. But as we seek to meet the demands of change, we are also asked to change the other concepts that are altered by that change. The other concepts are not yet suitable to be questioned - and they themselves, if questioned, will invite us to question even more concepts. In the absence of any conviction, we give up even before we are truly overwhelmed.
The hermeneutic network would take this problem to the extreme by analyzing all concepts relevant to the direction of a system “at once”. In the hermeneutic network, every concept would be questioned, while at the same time trying to correct or replace that concept and also trying to tentatively analyze the concept. The term is analyzed in advance so that, even if it is not in its final form, it is at least suitable for related questions. The preliminary analysis collects examples, sets out intuitions, sets out formal concepts, sets out the relationships between these examples, intuitions and formal concepts, collects desiderata for the concept such as change classes and change types that use the concept, and finds inconsistencies in the use of the concept and the changes it forces. Then when it comes time to think about another related concept - e.g. For example, "compliance" which includes "plying" and "togetherness" and "player" and "surface" etc. - these concepts ("surface" etc.) have been prepared to well support the study of "compliance". . These related concepts have been prepared to easily provide the study of "compliance" with the rearranging conceptual material needed to arrange a novel, appropriate idea of "togetherness" - a novel idea of "togetherness" that is both locally appropriate for the local study of "compliance" (suitable, i.e. in the role assigned to the preliminary idea of "togetherness" by the study), and which also has a mostly relevant meaning that is transferable to other contexts who want to use the idea of "togetherness" as "togetherness.”
