Surgical anatomy of the book as movable type body maneuvering positions within role-playing game and architecture. A role-playing game is a browsing design system in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting, or through a process of decision-making regarding character development. The structural ‘ghostings‘ of these stencils predict the currency of gambling coins, eventual death terrain, and scope of time-based measurement in the life expectancy radar, mimicking the concocted, and providing ammunition for outsourcing landscapes of virtual reality.
