I don’t understand “bounded”?

In that the game is formally finite.
The werewolf games only continue until either the werewolves or innocents win, the hurt / heal games continue until there is a winning fuseki or joseki, and the all-in-one democratic game finishes when the game of communal Go is over.
Games like the guess rank game or community geoguesser don’t have that formal bounding; they continue until the players get bored.

I think that’s a reasonable definition for practical unboundedness.
Of course, everything is bounded by the eventual heat death of the universe.

Is heat death the scientific meta? I thought it was cool death right now.
I really don’t know what’s the most popular theory at the moment.
“Heat death” is meant like the “death of heat”, so it is like a “cool death”, aka the “Big Chill” or “Big Freeze”.

Ah, I thought you meant heat death as in a hot death, by everything collapsing together.
I remember now that you have the term correct.
