The affordances of software are often abstract: actions have direct effects that users cannot see and indirect effects they cannot anticipate.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• Affordances are relationships between the abilities of organisms and features of the environment.claim0.826
• Abstract performatives include purely internal actions such as commitments not necessarily expressed in output, but on whose fulfillment the correctness of the program depends.quote0.796
  Definition of abstract performative, a core invention of the paper.
• The view of self as illusory, and awareness of this illusion, may augment and qualitatively change the agent’s affordances.claim0.792
  Central thesis of the paper that recognizing self as illusion expands the range of possible actions.
• Abstract Affordanceconcept0.781
  Software affordances where actions have immediate effects in an abstract world rather than direct physical consequences.
• The notion of self as illusion, as realized in AI and ALife practices, may contribute to novel fields of affordances for non-human intelligence.claim0.775
  Claim that endowing non-human agents with self-illusion awareness expands their affordance repertoire.
• acting to optimize value and perception are two aspects of exactly the same principle; namely the minimisation of a quantity [free energy] that bounds the probability of sensory input, given a particular agent or phenotype.quote0.775
  Concise statement of the free-energy principle's unification of action and perception.
• Can awareness of the illusion of self augment an agent's affordances?question0.773
  Core research question integrating Buddhist insight with AI/ALife frameworks; motivates entire paper.
• In every case, the process is straightforward, simple, and above all free: it allows the reality of the situation, the human needs, human joys, to find expression.claim0.770
  A summary generalization from the examples about the nature of living processes.
