Interesting enough, but to me they look more as a view of genres than strict definitions.

I'd propose something like this:

Toys: Offers the possibility to create your own ruleset, and change those rules at will during any point of play.

Games: Lets you play according to a strict set of rules, offering a varition of possibilities within those rules.

Puzzles: Lets you play according to a strict set of rules, but only offering one (or very limited) path(s) towards a solution.

Law: Enforces a set of rules upon you.
