This paper describes the form of human behavior as a program of behavioral units and progression evolved and transmitted in culture. The program for transaction prescribes both individual parts and the relationships in a traditional interaction. In actual enactment of such a transaction kinesic and other communicative signals are employed, largely out of awareness, to pace and integrate the various behaviors of the whole.
