Abstract: The connotative relationship of affordance is an ecological basis of Bergson' claim that intelligence is a tendency of establishing relationships, so affordance provides an interpretation mechanism on how to transform instinct to intelligence. It can be summarized as dependence on the sensitivity of possibility in creation, whose connotations include the initial attention mechanism of creation, the possibility mechanism of action and creation by coordinating the mankind and the environment, and the impossible avoidance mechanism of negative affordance perception. The mechanism of dependence on the sensitivity of possibility has important theoretical values in explaining technological creation for it lays the foundation for technological purposes and indicates the natural logic of technological creation.

Key words: affordance, creation, instinct, intelligence, dependence on the sensitivity of possibility
