Exploration of the Fascination of World's Mist

• I’m not sure if explaining the fun logically will convey it, but I’ll repost what I wrote on /villagepump.

from /villagepump/世界の霧#62408093c1f87f0000d703f9

• It may vary for each person, but I’ll try to write down the process that made me enjoy it (blu3mo).

  • Since I started a long time ago, I don’t remember much about the process I got hooked on, which is frustrating.

    • (Because it was before I started using Scrapbox, there are no records either)
    • Some parts are based on my imagination, but I think it was mostly like this.

  • (While writing, I’ll write the continuation later)

  • Stage 0 (Assumption): The fog on the familiar path clears

    • At the same time, “roads that can be traversed but are not usually taken” are visualized

  • Stage 1: Start to find enjoyment in the “process of clearing the fog”

    • Through visualization, I started to think, “Let’s choose this road that I haven’t taken before”
    • Then, I started to find enjoyment in exploring an unseen world
    • The enjoyment of the process of clearing the fog mentioned in 6240660d8ee92a000038732c
    • In terms of Scrapbox, is it the benefit of “2-hop links making unexpected connections”?
    • This is relatively easy to explain to others

  • Stage 2: Start to find enjoyment in the “clearing of the fog” itself

    • A sense of accomplishment that “the world I have seen” is expanding and visualized on the map
    • It feels like the network is gradually growing
    • In terms of Scrapbox, is it the enjoyment of the wiki growing and links connecting?
    • This is difficult to explain to others
    • If someone asks, “What’s fun about filling in the map?”, I wouldn’t know how to explain it
      • Can I say it’s because you get a reward for your actions?
      • It feels similar to why people are happy when they level up in a game

  • As a result, both or either of the two types of enjoyment accompany “movement”

    • When blu3mo says “how life becomes richer with the fog of the world,” they are referring to this
    • Concrete situations
      • When walking from home to a desired shop
      • When sightseeing
        • Seeking both the enjoyment of the “process of clearing the fog” and the enjoyment of the “clearing of the fog” itself, clear the fog
          • For example, even when walking from a hotel to a station, choose a different route each time
          • Then,
            • Enjoyment of the “process of clearing the fog”:
      • When taking the wrong train and ending up on an unexpected path
        • I understand (nishio)
