> A computational atlas of games, play, mechanics, and strategy.
> "A game is a system of rules that produces behavior. Ludologium studies what emerges."

## Epistemic Standard
Ludologium models games as formal state transition functions. All claims of lineage require verifiable documentary or patent evidence.
