Engaged Play
I found this article on "Engaged Play" that might shed some more light on the experience of DeepFUN. The author says:
"All play is fun, of course, but engaged play can help create pathways to greater understanding: in fact, engaged play is essential to the development of all mammals, especially humans. That said, engaged play is any activity during which imagination and ideas flow, and where, in the spirit of exploration, the need to reach a particular goal is over-ridden by the sheer desire to remain spontaneous. Soccer can be play. Scrabble can be play. Sex can be play. Work can be play. It’s more about attitude than anything else. There are rules, there is process, there are goals, but the attitude of play is generally to become immersed in the process while manipulating the rules and goals."
