Chapter 6: A Fair Game

In life, there are objectives that we have to accomplish.  Many times there are obstacles in the way of accomplishing our objectives.  So, we look at all persons as equals with equal rights and create a system of rules that bypass the obstacles preventing us from accomplishing our objectives.
   Since each game has an agreement to a set of rules, it runs under a covenant and must be controlled by authorities of the game.

Formal Derivation:


6.1 - Definition of a game:  a systematic function, bound by a set of rules, and thus composed of a set of procedures that overcome, bypass, or displace obstacles in order to accomplish an objective.

6.2 - Games must:  1) overcome obstacles in a just manner (i.e. legally) and 2) be composed of rules that ensure that all have an equal opportunity to accomplish the objective (by the principle of Karma).  In other words, games must be fair and legal.

6.2 - When we agree to play a societal game, we enter into a covenant enforced by a governing body.
    6.2.1.  Societal games must give everyone a fair opportunity to accomplish the goal behind them.
6.2.2.  Giving a fair opportunity in a game means imposing equalizing rules to keep the game fair.
    6.2.3.  By combining under a common set of equalizing rules and agreeing with the terms (or laws) of a game, we have a covenant.
    6.2.4.  And this covenant, since it is societal, is to be regulated by the government.
