Assuming 'Play' means a less structured version of 'Game' - or "Free Play" as Peter Gray calls it - then play is antifragile.
Play generates Black Swans (Definition of a Black Swan), unique scenarios emerging from complex adaptive systems (An Introduction to Complex Adaptive Systems). Because play is so freeform, naturally testing the limits (discovery vs performing) of a system, introducing chaos only expands the meaningful connections (Learning is meaningful connections) being made during play.
You are in a state of open-minded playfulness. So the randomness is introduced into a brain that is willing to accept change from the status quo. The brain state allows the chaos to be absorbed and integrated. Greater upside than downside (Antifragility).

Antifragility is when randomness makes the system stronger ((Antifragile #citation)). If games are fragile due to their rigid structure, then can I ma...
