Literary notes about Interact (AI summary)

The word “interact” is deployed in literature to capture a spectrum of relationships among entities, from social dynamics to mechanical processes. In some sociological contexts, such as those explored by Burgess and Park, it is used to describe a critical and engaged exchange among individuals ([1]), as well as the complex, mutually complementary processes that operate within social systems ([2]). However, even in the realm of non-living isolations, the term is employed to denote a more rudimentary, mechanical engagement between elements ([3]). Additionally, William James adopts a broader perspective by succinctly asserting that “its parts interact,” thereby highlighting the inherent connectivity within systems regardless of the nature of the entities involved ([4]).
