Infinite game

There are at least two kinds of games: finite and infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning and must come to a definitive end, such as football. There are known players, fixed rules, and an agreed upon objective. An infinite game is not bounded by time and the objective is not winning but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change. An infinite game continues with you or without you, like business or politics or life itself.
