Big Sky: many Small Games and one Massive Open Ended Game!
In many ways Big Sky is a platform for hosting a special kind of game. What that game is and how it works arises from properties of one of our major topics: Game Theory. It is a meta level experiment in both the application and study of game theory. Game Theory in turn will be applied to elucidate, motivate and animate our thinking about the other major topics in the Cognitive Sciences. Big Sky will host a set of micro-games and one massive open-ended game - called the Big Sky Game.
The Big Sky Game is already under way! The initial game pieces, Conceptimals, are being dropped into the game day by day.
What kind of games can you play with Conceptimals? More on this as we go. (Hint: it has to do with connectionist approaches to semantic modeling).
