Do you like to think of the relationship as potential or actualized? How can we determine when that relationship materializes?

“First the arrow, then the objects.” Lifting what I can understand from a PhD thesis on computational consciousness.
Love that line. Totally bought into it, but in reality there are infinite arrows, from an information perspective they all can’t exist in the latent space.
That’s an interesting question. We participate in a co-creation of our physical and cultural environments. The creation of a cup, in relationship with our evolved hand, affords grasping.
It feels as though it’s both potential and actualization. The relationship affords the potential of grasping. But the existence of the affordance itself feels like an actualization, that then affords the potentiality of grasping.
