Super X Chess is a game based on ideas emerging through systemic space. Systemic space creates new emergent properties to the system from the relationships of its lower-level components. It's what makes everything - atoms, water, love, interactivity, games, life - possible. Systemic emergence can be speculated to be behind the existence of all matter and energy.
