What is interaction-based?

"Interaction-based" means things work together by talking to each other, like how you and your friend might take turns building a tower with blocks.

Imagine you have two toys: one is a button, and the other is a light. When you press the button, the light turns on. That’s interaction-based: the button talks to the light by pressing it, and the light knows what to do because of that message.

Think about playing tag with your friends. One person says "Tag, you're it!", that's like a message being sent. The other person hears it and starts running. That’s how interaction-based things work: they respond to what happens around them.

Your phone is like this too! When you touch the screen, it knows to show you a picture or open an app. It's like your finger is saying "Hello" to the phone, and the phone says "Hi back!" by showing you something cool.

So, interaction-based means things do their job because they're talking, not just doing what they’re told from the start."Interaction-based" means things work together by talking to each other, like how you and your friend might take turns building a tower with blocks.
