Toward Environment Theory: Post-Optimality and the Pragmatics of Affordance Design

This article, devoted to the problems of environment and intra-environmental processes, investigated various modes interaction interdependence a living creature in which it lives. For these purposes, conceptual apparatus such theorists as G. Bateson, J. von Uexküll, Gibson, Deleuze F. Guattari is used. Based on analysis number design architectural projects authors show that processes perception action are not determined by subject-object disposition. On contrary, they emerge course manifestation territorial assemblage. Such an assemblage consists organism, formed limitations, affordances perceptual abilities all its components. Within this framework foundations proposed, based principle economy. Applying concept "predictive mind" modeling information aspect relationship organism with environment, identify some characteristics could enhance weaken ability mind distributed minimize errors predictions. Environment thus positioned practice transforming oneself, contrast optimal friendly environments, post-optimal considered; conducive hacking transformation. Through notion provocation transformation specificity significance assistive technologies revealed, between people disabilities their environment.
