There was me (in leopardland) thinking it was a hidden pref for Lambda
in/out… ;-)

Hey, bit of a random noob question here but I just spotted this and
didn't even know it existed. What does this do?
That strange unlabeled port / blue cable is the "Interaction Port",
new in Mac OS 10.6.
It's a shortcut for moving objects on-screen using mouse-dragging.
Without the Interaction Port/Patch, you could recreate the same
functionality using the Mouse, Sample & Hold, and Math patches.
There's no documentation, just a paragraph in the release notes:

GraphicsImaging/RN-QuartzComposer/_index.html
The new Interaction patch allows access to interaction data from
Sprites, Billboards and Mesh Renderers. These objects can be
interacted with directly or used as placeholder objects when
interacting with other objects. To access interaction data,
connect an Interaction patch’s interaction port to a Sprite,
Billboard or Mesh Renderer’s interaction port. Then, connect the
desired output ports of the Interaction patch to either the
associated ports on the connected Renderer to control it directly
or elsewhere within the composition.
