An Interaction is a unit of Behavior that focuses on the observable exchange
of information between connectable elements.

context :

BehaviorThe BehavioredClassifier that is the context for the execution of the Behavior.
A Behavior that is directly owned as a nestedClassifier does not have a
context. Otherwise, to determine the context of a Behavior, find the first
BehavioredClassifier reached by following the chain of owner relationships
from the Behavior, if any. If there is such a BehavioredClassifier, then
it is the context, unless it is itself a Behavior with a non-empty context,
in which case that is also the context for the original Behavior. For example,
following this algorithm, the context of an entry Behavior in a StateMachine
is the BehavioredClassifier that owns the StateMachine. The features of
the context BehavioredClassifier as well as the Elements visible to the
context Classifier are visible to the Behavior.

BehaviorDesignates a BehavioralFeature that the Behavior implements. The BehavioralFeature
must be owned by the BehavioredClassifier that owns the Behavior or be
inherited by it. The Parameters of the BehavioralFeature and the implementing
Behavior must match. A Behavior does not need to have a specification,
in which case it either is the classifierBehavior of a BehavioredClassifier
or it can only be invoked by another Behavior of the Classifier.
