* '''Game Mechanics''' — The "Rules" and "Procedures" that "Guide" the player and the "Game Response" (e.g., 'Jumping,' 'Trading,' 'Combat').
* '''Game System''' — A "Collection" of "Interacting Mechanics" that "Create" a "Coherent Experience."
* '''Feedback Loop''' — A "Self-Regulating System":
# '''Positive Feedback''' (Snowball): Success leads to more success (Makes the game 'Exciting' but 'Unstable').
# '''Negative Feedback''' (Rubber-banding): Success makes it harder, failure makes it easier (Makes the game 'Fair' but 'Predictable').
* '''Emergence''' — (See Article 578). When "Simple Rules" interact to create "Unforeseen Complexity" (e.g., 'A player uses a fire spell to melt ice and create a path').
* '''Game Economy''' — The "Flow" of "Resources" (Money, Energy, Items) within the game world.
* '''Balance''' — The "State" where no "Strategy" is "Too Strong" and no "Player" is "Too Weak."
* '''RNG''' (Random Number Generation) — The "Element of Chance": using "Math" to "Simulate" "Luck" and "Uncertainty."
* '''Win Condition''' — The "Metric" that "Ends" the game (e.g., 'Checkmate,' 'First to 10 points').
* '''Agency''' — The "Feeling" of the player that their "Choices" "Matter" and "Change the System."
* '''Heuristics''' — "Rules of Thumb" or "Simple Strategies" that players "Discover" to "Solve" the game's "Puzzles."
