My point exactly, that interaction occurs at all levels of physicality,
not just human-machine "couplings". All that differs is probably the
"degree" of interaction.

That's just stating the obvious. If they are speaking in the context of
giraffes,
obviously they mean giraffes.
Clearly, I was trying to expand the definition of 'machine' in the context
of
livecoding, for instance - there could be a way of livecoding an abacus to
play
a melody. Or a board of Go...
