Game elements that are located in the diegetic world but are not diegetically present.
This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples
character outlines Left 4 Dead Series
checkpoint beacons in the Grand Theft Auto series and Mirror's Edge

Using the pattern
Goal Points such as check point in Racing Games
Levels Characters Game State Indicators Speed Runs
Diegetic Aspects
Diegetic Consistency is harder to maintain in games with Geospatial Game Widgets since these are non-diegetic in their nature. This is especially true when they are no occluded by diegetic elements, as is the case for the outlines of Avatars and specific Pick-Ups in the Left 4 Dead Series.
Interface Aspects
Narrative Aspects
Consequences
As mentioned above, Geospatial Game Widgets break Diegetic Consistency by introducing non-diegetic elements into Gamw Worlds.

New pattern created in this wiki, based on the concept of Geometric elements in Fagerholt & Lorentzon[1].
