By contrast, real definitions aim not just to tell us about the waywords are used, but also to find some attributes that are in some wayessential to the object being defined. A chemist trying to find out thestructure and properties of matter is trying to form a real definition ofthe thing studied. However, identifying the essential attributes can bedifficult, and the whole idea of trying to find essential attributes canbe considered problematic.
But, and maybe it's philosophical or even a metaphysical thought, can things be essentially true without having a social influence? Like even math is based on theories, we say 1+1=2 because it fits, but it's a theory. So real definitions are also based on verbal agreements. (It's more a questioning about the definition of these definitions, I get the difference and how it applies to game study.)
