In evolution, the interactor is the part of the organism, selection acts upon. In biological evolution, this is the phenotype, the outward traits most affected by natural selection.

The interactor is something which interacts with the environment in a way which creates differential reproduction.

The other part of the organism would be the replicator, which is subject to variation (genotype, genome).
