Abstract
This paper blends work in extended mind, distributed cognition, and predictive processing to provide a novel generative theory of interaction. This dovetailing offers an emerging picture of cognition that HCI stands to benefit from: our cognition is extended, distributed, and constantly trying to predict incoming sensory stimuli across social, cultural, and temporal scales. We develop a sketch of a generative theory of interaction for HCI and offer some directions for future work.
