Abstract
The irreducibility of interactive to algorithmic computing requires fundamental questions concerning models of computation to be reexamined. This paper reviews single-stream and multiple-stream interaction machines, extensions of set theory and algebra for models of sequential interaction, and interactive extensions of the Turing test. It motivates the use of interactive models as a basis for applications to computer architecture, software engineering, and artificial intelligence.
