<p>This book is an overview of the intensive online writing game, Lingua Galaxiae (www.
<p>LinguaGalaxiae.com), which studies language as a system in the context of change. Each player has a personal writing coach who provides critiques of the player??s daily writing assignments and final portfolio and ensures that it is ready for college applications.</p><p>The game combines systems theory with semiotics to create a playing field that focuses on process over content. The game honors change by understanding truth as the product of momentary observation and analysis.</p><p>Language is understood as a system of interacting parts: The Operator of language (the human condition), the Operation of language (linguistics) and those Rules necessary for mitigating the way human nature impacts the human operation of language.</p><p>Rather than merely talking about these ideas, the game honors change and process by performing as a purposeful and self-correcting system. Players earn points by using the rules and definitions of the game to identify ways to change the game.</p>
