Discussing pretense. Children's games of pretense exhibit two features.

Quarantining: "events within the pretense-episode are taken to have effects only within that pretense-episode".
Spilling pretend tea from a teapot will not really wet the table.

Mirroring: "features of the imaginary situation that have not been explicitly stipulated are derivable via features of their real-world analogues".
Tipping the teapot will make the table wet within the pretense-episode.

The exception to quarantining is 'contagion'; the exception to mirroring is 'disparity'.

'contagion' may be 'affective transmission' (child scared of the dark because of imagined monsters) or 'cognitive transmission' (child playing at bird-watching may ascribe bird-like features to partically seen animal -- dog behind hedge).

'disparity' -- imaginary content in its difference to believed content may be 'incomplete' or 'incoherent'.
Quarantining and contagion appear to be mainly automatic processes whilst mirroring and disparity primarily arise from cognitive control.
