From the Paper:

"The concept of interaction has been adapted to a variety of situations. A central element in interaction is feedback. Wiener (1961) notes the biological importance of feedback in the organism, including the human organism, and explains why feedback is essential for life:

We thus see that for effective action on the outer world it is not only essential that we possess good effectors, but that the performance of these effectors be properly monitored back to the central nervous system, and that the readings of these monitors be properly continued with the other information coming in from the sense organs to produce a properly proportioned output to the effectors (Wiener, 1961, 96).

Feedback and interaction are forms of communication."
