"...the space is interpreting the user and the user's actions as signs to be decoded and given meaning. As a result of this dynamic relationship the representation, or interpretant, can alter the associations between signs and their signifiers in response to its reading of the users [sic] actions."
Comparing electronic spaces to real spaces and the difficulties in modelling the former: "...the starting point is a void. This presents a significant limitation..." requiring complex physica and behavioural modelling in an attempt to simulate reality.
"...an electronic space can be seen as an expression of a subset of known semiotic systems." Therefore "electronic space is made of language" and nothing in that space is devoid of meaning.
Describing his own game as demonstrating semiotic morphism, the physical space surrounding a player (textures, colours etc.) changes or morphs when another character is in close proximity.
This provides new meaning to the player according to the morphing of this electronic space.

Discussing linear and nonlinear audio environments, state that "relationships between individual sounds can be explored over the need to create compositional relationships for the listener."
Point out difficulties ad differences in audio perspective between the player or uses of the software and the audience watching/listening away from the console.

Discusses the reasons why sound files are used in preference to synthesis (real-time) in game audio -- hardware limitations and the [too] specific nature of potential synthesis techniques.
