This is somewhat ambiguous. Dealings with mankind are, as far as we know, His primary interaction in the sense of value (e.g., sparrows are of concern, but lesser value, and much less costly to purchase). However, the continuous role of sustaining creation could be termed an "interaction". I think extraordinary interactions are the main focus of the prior posts.
