However, existing research remains fragmented and lacks a process-oriented explanation of how ideas become actionable and trigger diffusion. This study draws on affordance theory to explain how ideas become actionable and drive diffusion in online innovation communities. Cognitive affordance is operationalized as operability and detail richness, entry affordance as actionability signaling and linguistic hedging, and collaborative affordance as mediating structural position and interaction depth. Using text mining and social network analysis on idea-level data and employing a negative binomial regression model, we find that the effects of affordances are inherently nonlinear. While some affordances exhibit positive linear effects, others follow U-shaped relationships, suggesting threshold-dependent activation mechanisms. The results suggest that AI may influence the activation of affordances and alter certain affordance-diffusion relationships under specific conditions. Theoretically, this study advances affordance theory by introducing an activation-based perspective that captures the nonlinear transformation from perceived possibilities to realized actions. It also integrates content and structural dimensions into a unified framework for understanding idea diffusion. Practically, the findings offer insights for platform governance, particularly in designing content structures, participation mechanisms, and AI-assisted tools that effectively facilitate innovation diffusion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems14070838","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,14]],"date-time":"2026-07-14T02:34:44Z","timestamp":1783996484000},"page":"838","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["From Affordance to Actualization: A Study on the Nonlinear Mechanisms of Idea Diffusion in AI-Mediated Online Innovation Communities"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yujie","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Research Institute of Shandong Academy of Sciences, Qilu University of Technology (Shandong Academy of Sciences), Jinan 250014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingzi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Research Institute of Shandong Academy of Sciences, Qilu University of Technology (Shandong Academy of Sciences), Jinan 250014, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2057-8005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guijie","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Shandong University, Jinan 250100, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1691","DOI":"10.25300\/MISQ\/2022\/15059","article-title":"Novelty and the Structure of Design Landscapes: A Relational VIEW of Online Innovation Communities","volume":"46","author":"Kyriakou","year":"2022","journal-title":"MIS Q."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"522","DOI":"10.1177\/00031224231166955","article-title":"How New Ideas Diffuse in Science","volume":"88","author":"Cheng","year":"2023","journal-title":"Am.
