This paper lays out an interdisciplinary research framework that integrates perspectives from physics, biology, mathematics, and computer science to develop a vision of interaction computing. The paper recounts the main insights and lessons learned in the past six years across multiple projects, gives a current definition of the problem, and outlines a research programme for how to approach it that will guide our research over the coming years. The flavour of the research is strongly algebraic, and the bridge to specification of behaviour of automata through new formal languages is discussed in terms of category theory. The style of presentation is intuitive and conceptual as the paper is meant to provide a foundation widely accessible to an interdisciplinary audience for five threads of research in experimental cell biology, algebraic automata theory, dynamical systems theory, autopoietic architectures, and specification languages, the first four of which are represented by more focussed technical papers at this same conference.
