What are the various flavors of continuity? And how best to represent them in graphic form? Below are icons created for the Dig! deck to represent the various continuity relationships players are challenged with creating when playing a card.

So what’s this then? An outgrowth of Dig!, a card game concept aimed at integrating research with meaningful play (free play > structured play > serious play), di6it.org is the repository of marginalia, errata, secrets, inscriptions, and ephemera (all the good stuff found in libraries) related to the ongoing exploration of this expansive topic.

* Generally speaking, the objective is to discover the deeper meaning and implications— the symbolic facets— of the banal things of everyday life (or, perhaps, to imbibe them with symbolism) to inspire students to look and listen more intently to what the world around them is trying to reveal.
