This paper explores levels of abstraction: Representational games present a fictional world, but within that world, players are only allowed to perform certain actions; the fictional world of the game is only implemented to a certain detail.—Jesper Juul: A Certain Level of Abstraction
The paper distinguishes between abstraction as a core element of video game design, abstraction as something that the player decodes while playing a game, and abstraction as a type of optimization that the player builds over time.
Finally, the paper argues that abstraction is related to the magic circle of games and to rules as such.
