  The nature of interaction within Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN) is
inherently complex. This is due, in part, to the wide range of potential
interaction modes through which IDNs can be conceptualised, produced and
deployed and the complex dynamics this might entail. The purpose of this
whitepaper is to provide IDN practitioners with the essential knowledge on the
nature of interaction in IDNs and allow them to make informed design decisions
that lead to the incorporation of complexity thinking throughout the design
pipeline, the implementation of the work, and the ways its audience perceives
it. This white paper is concerned with the complexities of authoring,
delivering and processing dynamic interactive contents from the perspectives of
both creators and audiences. This white paper is part of a series of
publications by the INDCOR COST Action 18230 (Interactive Narrative Design for
Complexity Representations), which all clarify how IDNs representing complexity
can be understood and applied (INDCOR WP 0 - 5, 2023).
