* CosmicKeystone: The Text, which defines what everything else does. Text is one of the only object very few objects in the entire game (other than [[spoiler:LEVEL and CURSOR]]) that can have properties not defined by Text--under normal circumstances, Text is Push.[[note]]The others, if you're wondering, are Level (Stop by default) and Cursor (Select by default). Line also tends to have path-related traits not defined by Text, but on a technical level that's actually a property of paths, not the Line object.[[/note]]

* Catch22Dilemma: A great many levels are designed to present a situation where the direct solution to the immediate thing stopping you from winning will create a new thing that stops you from winning, forcing you to go for [[TakeAThirdOption an indirect solution instead]]. For example, "Baba Doesn't Respond" has a Door that is Defeat and Open between you and the winning flag. You can push a block to make the door Shut and Open, which will make it disappear...but doing so will make Reed is Defeat, so you still can't get to the flag but now the obstruction is two spaces to the left. [[spoiler:So you rearrange the level so Baba, the one other moving object in the stage, pushes the block to remove the door ''after'' you've walked past the reed.]]
