Abstract:
This paper explores the possible interpretation of 'mass-in-mind,' which describes a shift in a perceived challenge due to experience. This work involves a measurement called 'game refinement,' which has been used to quantify the engagement of a game. It establishes an incomplete link between real-world physics and physics-in-mind, in which the acceleration and the distance, also known as game progress, have been identified. An existence of mass-in-mind, however, has just been established. The mathematical model of mass-in-mind is constructed based on the data interpretation, in which Scrabble matches between computer players were analyzed. The results reveal a significant gap between prior models, which is explainable once the mass-in-mind is considered.
