Firstly, it's good to see you propose the model as a triangle up-ended or reversed. Though Enlightenment (at the very bottom) whilst mudding still sadly eludes us, your analysis looks good. Secondly, it's intiguing to apply all manner of Educational theories to gaming; Dr. Tuckman's Forming, Norming, Performing, Norming, Adjourning/Mourning model intrigues me with regards to gaming and is just as valid. Golly gosh, I think it's all in the 'Performing' bit! Woohoo!
At any rate, how would you extend your analysis to the player's avatar? No, it's not a spurious question, nor humourous in origin. I can perhaps see your extended analysis clashing considerably in places with your original one. But it'd be interesting to find out.
