Locus of Interaction

The locus of interaction in a system is the collection of processes and functions that present the most activity and involve the largest number of elements, acting as a gravitational center to the system as a whole and a significant source of cohesion.

The locus of interaction should not be confused with the locus of power. For example, in an economic system, the locus of interaction are the productive and commercial activities, while the locus of power are those accumulating capital and the bureaucratic and violence systems that support them.
