Literary notes about interaction (AI summary)
In literature, the term "interaction" is employed to capture a diverse range of relationships and processes across various fields. In the physical sciences, it describes the interplay between forces and elements, as seen in the discussion of molecular and physical interactions [1, 2]. In the realm of social theory, it forms the backbone of discussions about how individuals and groups relate, highlighting everything from the initial contact between persons to the evolving processes that shape societal structures [3, 4, 5]. Additionally, in philosophical and educational writings, "interaction" is used to illustrate the complex process by which thought and perception emerge through the dynamic interplay between internal cognition and external stimuli [6, 7, 8]. This breadth of usage underscores the concept’s versatility, as it serves both as a metaphor for human connectivity and as a precise scientific term denoting the reciprocal effects observed in natural phenomena [9, 10, 11].
