Interrupt is a mechanism of intervention, where an external action comes in the middle of the routine and stops the code exectution. It is the implementation of interaction within a cybernetic system. It is this paradigm that broke the linear turing machine and gave origin to shell comands and the REPL (read-eval-print-loop) paradigm.

'interrupts aren't hidden'- a statement that is as much aesthetic as it is technical. - Linus Torvalds

Interrupts gives the possibility of a user - and glitches. This fundamentally turns any system into a chaotic, non-deterministic one. The incorporated noise originates a new system.
