    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→The constitutive rule/regulative rule distinction allows formalism to overcome the objection that any rule-breaking ends a game

    Key Terms

    A move in a game(as used in game theory and philosophy)
    Any action that counts as part of playing the game and follows its rules—like moving a pawn in chess or passing a ball in soccer.
    Collapsing the distinction(in logic and argumentation)
    Removing or eliminating the difference between two separate ideas, so they become impossible to tell apart.
    Fouls(as used in sports and the philosophy example)
    Actions in a sport that break the rules and are punished by the referee, like tripping an opponent in soccer.
    Penalty kick(as used in the statement's example)
    A direct, undefended kick awarded to a team in soccer when the opposing team commits a foul near their goal.
    Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted)

    Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.
    constitutive rules(Contrasted with regulative rules; central to Suits's analysis of games)
    The rules that define and constitute a game, such that violating them ends or negates the game rather than merely breaking a norm within it.
