Many issues come to mind, however as long as they are use to help decipher a purpose or discover a new purpose in an object. Anther flaw is that our senses deceive us and with out further investigation we are left ignorant.
A solid connection would be a symbiotic relationship between two animals. One animal can find a purpose in the other animals body/environment and take advantage of that affordance.
A niche is a micro-environment that a small group or individuals fit into where they can thrive the most. Habitat is an environment that many groups can share and is not tailed specifically for any one group. Creative problem solving is my (Evan) niche field of study. Ollie's niche is the art environment.
Napkin: Brown wrap that appears to be some thing to wrap hot food in. Possibly to be consumed.
Door: metallic posts and small hole for inserting other objects. Thick and heavy and mounted to the wall. Seems to be good for trapping objects in a room.
water fountain: round base, big round buttons, hole to rain, spout that sprays water, curved covering of spout. It appears that one should attach their face to the object and hit the button to fill them selves with water.
Unicycle: The object has one wheel and a seat. Every thing that we use to ride on has at least 2 wheels. Even though it only has one where it is actually drive able and can have more agility and can be balanced in a wider range of speeds.
Affordances are by nature perceived, even though they are intrinsic of the object. Therefore everyone can find different affordances in the same object.
We are creating the affordances in the object(s) for the views to find. This relates to metaphor in that we insert specific elements or colors to help define an existing idea that the viewer is familiar with.
