Yumeng Li explains:
S for Sensible — Intelligent "sensors" and functional "actuators" O for Organic — A symbiotic I/O system inspired by living organisms, fostering iterative interactive feedback, resilience, and antifragility. F for Flexible — Distributed I/O ports, synchronized to enable dynamic global integration, delivering seamless 4D flow experiences. T stands for Transformative — Thoughtfully communicated design that bridges human connections and evokes natural emotions. These four elements( Sensible, Organic, Flexible, and Transformative) —are not subcategories of SOFT but integral components shaping a future design.
