As outlined by Janet Murray in Inventing the Medium, everything made of electronic bits is potentially:

+ procedural (composed of executable rules)
+ participatory (inviting human action and manipulation of the represented world)
+ encyclopedic (containing very high capacity of information in multiple media formats)
+ spatial (navigable as an information repository and/or a virtual place)

These affordances make up the designer’s palette for representation in any digital format or genre.
