Theories. ‌ This section makes a simple point: building (and preserving) “theories” is a good way to reuse ideas. In spite of the point being simple, we must make sure that it is not forgotten and draw some conclusions from it. Xxxx [Dah78] made the point that if each formal development is to start with a blank sheet, only trivial examples will ever be developed formally. A key way to reuse ideas is to develop theories of, for example, data structures and to store these theories as stepping stones to other developments. The point has been illustrated with the Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx algorithm for recording equivalence classes in [Jon90, Chapter 11] and the link to theories made explicit in [Xxx00]. The basic mechanism for separating and storing such concepts is available in the Rodin Toolset: it is the “context”. Furthermore, the proposed “Mathematical Extensions” (cf. Chapter 1) will make it far easier to develop theories. One matter that might require further extension is the ability to have “higher order” types.

Theories. Using a theoretical analysis, Bandersnatch blurs the line between interactive film and video game. When analyzing interactive film today, there is a clear difference between Bandersnatch, Heavy Rain and other FMV titles, making a comparison to the level of interactivity in either title inappropriate for in-depth analysis. To accurately analyze Bandersnatch in a theoretical lens, interactive film ideally is best understood as its own medium rather than a media convergence of traditional film and video games. Due to the sparse and dated literary and scholarly landscape, theories on interactive film medium specificity are unclear, yet present opportunities to understand interactive film through an analysis of certain aspects of video games. Considering its level of interactivity, solely using theories of inherent interactivity in film today and video game theory is inadequate and rather demands a new definition of exactly what differentiates interactive film from video games.

Theories. Why does criminal law outline illegal acts? And for whom is it outlined? The motivations behind the creation of the system as a whole drive the power designated to those who work in it and affect the outcomes of those targeted by it. Three overarching theories to understand criminal law and its distinction from civil law are punitive, communitarian, and preventative. Punitive views of criminal law claim that the legal code established for crimes is solely to deliver 22 Xxxxxxx 24 “Xxxxx x. Ohio.” Oyez, (1967). The Court held that an officer may stop or xxxxx a suspect without any probable cause to arrest if there is reasonable suspicion that the individual has committed, is committing, or will commit a crime. Reasonable suspicion needs to be more than a “hunch” where “a reasonably prudent man” would be warranted in believing the individual poses a threat or is engaging in suspicious behavior. “Xxxxxxxx v. United States.” Legal Information Institute, (1949). The Court held that probable cause exists insofar as the facts and circumstances available to the officer are sufficient to warrant a belief that a crime is being committed, and would be so to “a man of reasonable caution.” justified punishment to offenders while outlining to potential offenders punishable acts.25 While the components which make punishment justified may be unknown, its engraining in law deems it sufficient for application. A communitarian view to criminal law argues that law acts as an instrument of the community, providing justice on behalf of all in the community. As opposed to civil law which regulates disputes among individuals, or between some, criminal law is for the benefit of all in the community - laws are for the protection of the entirety.26 These two views are applied following the commission of an act and into the criminal proceedings, interpreting the purpose of the law as a response to previous action. The third view, preventative, theorizes criminal law pre-crime. Criminal law as preventative means that the wrongdoings are explicit and the punishments that could ensue are known before any commission occurs. Since an individual is either aware of or has open access to the laws concerning what action is considered a crime and the consequences that can arise, the desire to endure those repercussions is, in theory, lesser than the desire to commit them.27 But under this logic, it is important to consider whether the repercussions are weighted equally to the criminal act, or ...
