"Proceduralism" by Gus L, "a form of rules for outside of play itself, the rules for using the rules. While mechanics define why and what is happening in a game, procedures define how it happens at the table."
"How to share the experience of your game with people you aren’t playing with or even talking to so they can replicate it? Proceduralism has an answer to this issue and one that’s been with the hobby since its inception"
