Touche Rebecca,
I too am mainly interested in human communication and interaction -
the quanta are a digression into understanding the how - one I find
fascinating clearly.
The specific rules of specific games of cards are an example of
patterns in the higher socio-intellectual level that we give
particular significance in that level. (But my point is some
arrangements have more significance than others whether we say so or
not.)
