GAMES PEOPLE PLAY A Three-Part Framework for Understanding Manipulation, Structure, and Ethical Use

This OSF project contains a three-part body of work examining patterns of manipulation, influence, and structural distortion in human systems, alongside explicit ethical guidance for how such material should be read, taught, and discussed. The project is intentionally divided into three distinct but interdependent texts, each serving a different function: A descriptive foundation A structural deepening An ethical containment and facilitation guide Together, they form a complete framework that prioritizes clarity without overreach and understanding without diagnosis.
