Interface: “The way that you accomplish tasks with a product—what you do and how it responds,” according to Raskin. A “how” often discussed as a “what”. Inherent danger of “infinite regression” (B. Laurel) when discussing the notion as a layer between the human (see User) and a computer. Rabbit hole. In iA’s Metaphysics, interfaces are Thresholds.
