     * Amorphous programming, focus on parallel, spatially arranged small programs robust to fuzziness
       * Is this more suitable framework for less discrete/"gestural" interfaces?
-      * Multiple levels
+      * Multiple levels of process resolution (parallel with overall marshaling - scatter/gather approach?)
+==Novel approaches to creativity==
+* Games as learning environments - well researched area
+  * Game world as "safe space" for experimentation/creativity
+  * Games as ways for people to see things from different perspectives
+* "Game programming" as solid existing basis for creative learning
+* Current examples lack integration of programming into the game world itself - treated as separate "layer"
+  * When programming "invades" gameworld currently, it's a hack - minecraft/little big planet CPUs
+  * We can make this hack a feature - designed in from the start
+* Algorithms as world, processes as agents = very visible/tangible programming model
+  * As a solution to algorithmic malleability
+    * Easy to see whats going wrong and where
+    * It's realtime
+* Games as environments filled with interacting agents (incl humans)
+  * Human level of understanding, rather than machine
+  * Current languages abstract machine process into human level metaphor (for/while loops etc -> assembler)
+  * Next languages need to abstract machine time to human understanding?
