A zoped is a full dramatic performance. backstage, directors, plays, audience,
critics, the works. There is probably a script somewhere in the mix, but
no play has ever been produced that exactly follows "the script" and given
the "inescapable tension between mediational means and action" ( a la wertsch)
there never will be.

Zopeds, like all joint, mediated, human activities are open systems. To suggest
that they are or could be scripted, in the sense of be exactly prespecified
and fulfilled, is an idea whose time should never come.
