==Definition==
The exact definition of meta-techniques is still has been hotly debated, the usage varies in scope and clarity across the board. In the broadest usage of the word it covers nearly any game mechanic in a Nordic Larp, while another usage put meta-techniques as a direct opposite to game mechanics. One clearer defintion of meta-techniques states:
''Communication in the game - between the players and not the characters or additional story that doesn’t fit in to the game time and space continuum''
'''Abstractions''' are when the metatechnique itself is immanent in the fictional world. I.e. In this world latex is deadly and boffers kill or there is no sex, but Ars Amandi fulfills the same functions. In this, the experience of the character and the player are the same.
'''Meta-techniques''' in this definition are not experienced by the characters, only between players. It is an event taking place completely outside the continuity of play.
