Talking to people about their earliest memories, I am noticing a pattern emerging. These memories tend to revolve around the introduction of new affordances (new places, new toys, ...) or the loss of existing affordances

In other words, engagement.

Does this count as the loss of an affordance? (One I was attached to, I might add.)https://twitter.com/mrkgrnao/status/932410875817877504 …

Exactly why we may build our minds in novel directions with situated immersive media allowing exotic affordances

Yes indeed, it's all about timing. Neuroscientists and psychologists have been saying this for decades but the AI community has not been listening.

Yes! I think if there was a magical way to switch brains with someone else the whole system would freak out for missing the original "sensors" and "actuators" that were part of the building of the mind. We understand so little of all of this...

Embodiment cognition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embodied_cognition … and affordance (ecological) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordance helped inspire our research 15 years ago (see http://www.soundobject.org/SObBook/SObBook_JUL03.pdf …) see chapter 2.7 in particular which may give you in turn some inspiration.

I read a hand wavy-ish book in 2017: 'The vicarious brain' on a flight to India. It basically makes the same point, but not just action, but also vicariance in action, both vicarious usage (different actions involving same object) and functional vicariance.

I found a bit frustrating initially. But later liked it (but in the sense that it would be cool to be able to formalize the basic idea in it, seems plausible to do it).

Have you seen any of the dialogues between David Bohm and J. Krishnamurti on the nature of the mind? If not, I strongly recommend it.
