Wow this is really cool. Did you flip around the whole site? Looks like some sort of image association don't you think? Even little kids play it it seems....very interesting. Axiously awaiting Japanese help!

How did you come across this ze?

Edit to Add: Ze, some info

Did you go here already?

slow going, but this is what I could come up with just for the first paragraph...

"The capillary of the information which the knowledge which with
network of the association which is formed in the brain, or the depth
of culture, is connected is produced. As for purpose of
カンブリアンゲーム, in the system where influence bears
influence, you rejoice, it is the disappointment, conspiracy,
expectation and surprise very thing."

カンブリアンゲーム = ka- n- bu- ri- a- n gea- mu (cambrian game)

I'll keep working on it.

basically means that this game is a reflection of the way an individual's brain, or the collective concisousness, links information.

While playing the Cambrian game, each link influences the next, so what shows up can surprise, disappoint or can go completely against the expectations of the players.

so- let loose your brain and watch it where it takes you and the group of players. reminds me of some of the dada pieces in the fiction project around here, only with very specific rules of relation.

come to think of it, it's also similar to image association, but using one image for four (or however many) associations, then using one of those associations for another chain of associations... and so on

ze, I've been going through the page- most of it is description of the groups that have taken part of the renga networks shown in the images. If you would like the specifics, let me know.

i guess i was wondering what the rule set for connections was that made the structure evolve in a way that was so uniformly interconnected/ball-like
