The essay addresses the question of interfaces from the perspective of object-oriented ontology. If the knowledge ofobjects always implies continuous transductions, thanks to which the object reality is translated into a sensibleappearance, the function of the interfaces shows itself in its structural necessity. All object knowledge is transductive.But this implies that the real being of each object withdraws from direct access. The essay, however, argues that thebeing of objects, due to its futurality (Morton), even partially escapes indirect access; and this explains why interfacesare always ambiguously clear and obscure.
