Does energy being redistributed in new directions really look

Roy is absolutely right, Cecil. Interact is a very poor choice of
terms in this discussion. Would you assert that photons can have an
effect on each other? The fact is, waves and photons can only
interact with matter. If the superposition of waves actually had an
effect on the waves themselves then interference patterns wouldn't
look the way they do. Think about it.
