Sophia
This page gathers the writing on Sophia and its relation to metaffordance in one place: the dreaming, the mythic naming of a generative ground upstream of Gibson's specification relation, and how far that naming can reasonably be taken as literal rather than useful metaphor. The argument makes sense if these are read as a sequence, each piece escalating on the one before it, not encountered as a single essay. The piece From affordance to Sophianic metaffordance: My view puts everything into a timeline of conceptual development.
