this is the line of thought that leans more towards IF as a medium, because these abstract affordances can be expressed in a more predictable way. it doesn't preclude player/reader choice. could be like a 'menu' of those sense affordances that the player/reader gets used to, and then which 'stop working' as the plot progresses. maybe one of those affordances could be a 'cold storage' knowledge module that can be queried for information about the world that the maintenance system wouldn't need on-hand immediately, but which might be useful when entering inhabited space (for the purpose of radio comms with fleshy beings?) and then the queries stop working, or come back garbled? hm
