Intra-action

Intra-action refers to the dynamic, interconnected process within a system or entity where components influence and shape each other simultaneously, rather than acting independently. Unlike interaction, which involves separate entities affecting each other, intra-action emphasizes that elements are constituted through their relationships and co-creation within the system. This concept highlights how identities, meanings, and outcomes are continuously formed through these internal processes, acknowledging that change and understanding emerge from the ongoing, internal exchanges rather than isolated actions.
