I see play as mimesis in action: the filling of the self with the
possibility of the other (trying it on for size?). Symbols might enter
recursively as imagination is created -- that is, initially, I see both
imagination/symbols as outcomes rather than preconditions. Later, these
latter would make the next move in the game possible (visible to action).
Perhaps even later, whole scenarios (goals? rules?) would evolve. Does that
make sense?
