The idea is that a participant at a larp will encounter clues or incentives in much the same way as someone pulling random marbles out of a bag.

''This is contrary to reading a book (which is a chronological action, page after page, scene after scene, like a railroad has stations along the line). It is also contrary to playing most computer games (which usually has a branching structure in the storyline, that you get alternate ways but the interactivity is deciding alternate actions and getting alternate endings. It is not a free choice, it is a limited list of choices in one scene. The Swedish Interactingarts Collective would name this in their book "Deltagerkultur" as Interactivity, but not as Interaction).''

The metaphor of the bag of marbles is used in figuring out probability in math.

(a topic [[Erlend Eidsem Hansen]] studied during his early years in object oriented computer programming.)

This is contrary to reading a book (which is a chronological action, page after page, scene after scene, like a railroad has stations along the line). It is also contrary to playing most computer games (which usually has a branching structure in the storyline, that you get alternate ways but the interactivity is deciding alternate actions and getting alternate endings. It is not a free choice, it is a limited list of choices in one scene. The Swedish Interactingarts Collective would name this in their book "Deltagerkultur" as Interactivity, but not as Interaction).
