I meant Simulation as used in GNS - a focus on exploration of setting & character. As opposed to Gamism - focus on challenging the players to overcome threats/challenges/obstacles and 'win'.
What you describe actually gets shoehorned into Simulation in GNS (so that Narrativism can be confined to 'exploration of Premise'), but that's a different kettle of fish.
