In the physical world, the inability to write outside of the dimensions of the paper’s physical surface can be explained within the affordance/constraint dichotomy paradigm either the action of writing is possible or it is not. To put this in plain terms, consider a plain piece of paper and the act of writing on it. To Norman (1999), conventions and (perceived) affordances are distinct and should not be confused, nor used interchangeably, but this perspective is rooted in a distinction between the physical and virtual world.
DAW user lives in constant tension between the two poles of either directing or being directed by the software, and using the conventional terminology of affordances, constraints, and conventions to detail this experience is constraining.
