Do you know of any way to achieve wave
cancellation without any interaction between the
waves?


It's called "vector addition," not "interaction."


A bit more on the lack of "interaction" between two waves...


A bit more on the "interaction" between two waves...

From "Optics", by Hecht: "Briefly then, optical interference
corresponds to the *interaction* of two or more light waves
yielding a resultant irradiance that deviates from the sum
of the component irradiances." (emphasis mine)

Since the "interaction" between two waves is good enough for
Hecht, it is good enough for me.


Gimme that old time religion...
