24. Interfaces¶
How humans and systems actually reach the model. Children enumerate surfaces: chat UI, API, CLI, IDE, browser, mobile, voice, multimodal, and autonomous background workers. The axis is mode of interaction — from synchronous human chat to fully autonomous unattended operation. Worth distinguishing from tooling: tools are how the model reaches out; interfaces are how the world reaches in.
