Review | From extended phenotype to extended affordance: distributed language at the intersection of Gibson and Dawkins

During NERCCS 2025 I had the opportunity to meet Dennis P. Waters, a transdisciplinary thinker whose PhD was done under the direction of Howard Pattee. With Dennis I had the opportunity to talk about biosemiotics, relational biology and ecological psychology, conversations from which I learned a lot. Today I am going to review one of his papers, published more than ten years ago but with very interesting ideas.
