Here are different identifiers for a particular Lap, within a particular lap series.

Progression
-Language
-Dialect

= 3 different things

Solutions - Different solutions in the language for the same progression

Accents - Different speaker's accents in the language for the same progression

Speech Community - Different community styles (sub-sub dialects) in the language for the same progression

Constraints _____men

• Men only game (everybody wears hats), I/you/ present tense
• Women only game (everybody wears dresses), I/you/he she, present + past

Primary Game Route, vs. Possible Variants due to Speaker Feedback or Experimentation:

v - What is that?
v - What is this?
v - What do you call that?
v - What do you call this?
p - What is that thing over there?

"Progression" means the core game hypothesis that ties a lap series together. Changing the progression means breaking that hypothesis to an extent that you couldn't call the new progression just a new "variant", because it fundamentally shifts how you play, lap to lap to lap. Variants are small changes that don't really impact overall play. Changes in accent, changes in single word use, etc. etc.
