Black and White refer to the order and sequence of gamer moves within a game. By default, Black moves first (i.e., makes the initial move), and White moves next. Black follows this with a new move or strategy. The notions also refer to which end of the string a gamer chooses to draw: Black takes one endpoint, and White takes the other.
Notes (+): + Lnq is Black by default (every other move belongs to Lnq because he is the controller). So, all other gamers (aside from the impresario) are White movers (White, being the 'complement', requires Lnq's signature on all plays). It is possible that Lnq can play as both Black and White in clone mode.
+ As would be the case in turned-based games, moves are inductive: n, n + 1, et cetera. Even though our games are multiplayer, they are of the two-gamer type because Lnq is always one (1) of the gamers, leaving the other gamer as a unit (comprised of either a singlet or a team). It is also permissible that a game's first move is the determinance of coil (establishing fitness).
