one’s usual environment
• Extent - a setting sufficiently rich
and coherent that it engages the
mind and promotes exploration
• Fascination (soft & hard) -
content or mental processes that
engage attention effortlessly &
allow you to rest your mind.
• Compatibility - good fit between
your inclinations and the kinds of
activities supported by the
setting.
