I'm not aware of any particular consensus, so I think you should pick what works for you. I like the idea that you can nudge, push, or slam an option and each one means something different (even though the electronic action is the same). If the personality performing the action has sentience and intelligence, and particularly emotion, then those differences of expression will exist in whatever medium they act in. The Star Trek TOS novel [_Memory Prime_](http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B000FC0RNI) has several lengthy passages which take place in computer memory describing the interactions of artificial and natural intelligences (including Spock at one point). You might want to take a look at how the Reeves-Stevenses handled the issue.
