An 'infinite game', as articulated by Jamie Wheal, refers to a dynamic and evolving approach to life and interactions, rooted in playfulness, creativity, and a continuous quest for possibility and growth rather than fixed outcomes or finite goals. This paradigm sees life not as a zero-sum contest to be won or lost, but as an ever-unfolding journey where the primary aim is to perpetuate the game itself, relish the process, and elevate collective experience. Infinite games defy rigid structures, promoting fluidity, adaptation, and a deep sense of interconnectedness. They invite participants to engage with curiosity, compassion, and a sense of wonder, prioritizing ongoing learning and the enhancement of overall well-being over any singular, static victory.
