Casse-tête (Brainteaser) is a geometrical pattern with the instruction, «Take figures and play». Otherwise no- thing is given...

In the pattern, disparate spatial orderings melt together: one is linear, one divides itself infinitely, another can be seen in lines that evolve into surfaces. These spatiali- ties are inextricable - the gaming is on all of them at the same time. It is not possible to predict which spatiality one’s counterpart is playing in. As there are no rules, the event unfolding on the board depends on the players. The goal of Casse-tête, if there is one, is the gaming itself; gaming is the game and creates the game.
